Driving Value in the Agentic Era — CDAO Framework

As data leaders navigate the agentic era, the focus shifts from reactive analytics to orchestrating proactive, high-ROI agentic workflows that bridge infrastructure and business value. This framework invites discussion on integrating operational intelligence, proactive security, and board-level governance to accelerate enterprise AI transformation. Come together with your peers to explore how to:

  • Automate high-impact, low-risk workflows to realize agentic value
  • Integrate security and trust with centralized, transparent oversight
  • Align agentic initiatives with strategy via structured governance and monitoring
