Agenda

Coming Soon

The CDAO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted ‘by CDAOs, for CDAOs,’ and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.

Linking Data, Analytics, and AI Initiatives to Business Value

CDAOs are focused on tying data, analytics, and AI initiatives to business objectives to demonstrate their value. By directly aligning these initiatives with enterprise-wide strategic goals, CDAOs can drive better decision making and enhance organizational performance.

Maturing D&A Culture with Data Democratization and Self-Service Analytics

To advance D&A culture within large organizations, CDAOs are democratizing data and enabling self-service analytics. By empowering employees to access and utilize data independently, CDAOs can foster a more agile and informed workforce, leading to improved business outcomes.

Modernizing Data Governance to Adopt and Scale Advanced D&A and AI Capabilities

CDAOs must prioritize the maturation of data governance frameworks to effectively adopt and scale advanced D&A and AI capabilities. With robust governance, organizations can maintain data quality and compliance, enabling the successful implementation of innovative technologies across the enterprise.
