Designing for Safety: Navigating Platform Partnerships
What does it take to build a platform-civil society partnership that lasts?
If you've ever been curious about platform partnerships between civil society organisations and corporations, this is the event for you! Whether they are one-off contracts, transactional exchanges, or short-term campaigns, brand visibility, or tooling, there is a shelf life to these limited-time engagements. So, what happens when partners decide to take the next step toward something more long-term? This session explores what becomes possible when a platform invests in a long-term safety partnership with civil society.
Using the five-year Bumble x Chayn collaboration as a case study, this session explores the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from building and sustaining a long-term safety partnership.
Together, we'll unpack what it actually takes to build and sustain these partnerships through the collaborative wins and growing pains, from navigating internal approval processes and stakeholder buy-in to managing expectations, contracting, information security, and day-to-day collaboration.
