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.
