Conference Mission

BARI Conference is a unique forum for community leaders, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers to share how they advance data-driven research and policy in Greater Boston—and how we could do even more through collective action. To accomplish this, we prioritize the following values in the work we highlight and the design of sessions:

  • Grounded in multiple forms of expertise, from generational knowledge to lived experience to formal training and everything in between.
  • Innovations that use data and research to advance knowledge, policy, and practice in greater Boston. 
  • Collaboration, showcasing the power of collective action: the felt and meaningful impact we can accomplish when we combine our specialized knowledge and skills across individuals, organizations, institutions, or any combination thereof.
  • Directly relevant and actionable for our communities.
