This special evening is hosted by the Governing Body to launch the following day's events. Join us for an evening of peer networking, food, drinks and panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline at The Water Club.

Whether you have a centralized data ecosystem or rely on multiple, shared sources, the goal for CDAOs is to ensure data is trusted, governed and accessible, so teams can confidently use it to drive the business forward. In this session, Amplitude’s Chief Digital & Information Officer will share how to create a data governance foundation so your business can thrive. 

Join this keynote session to explore:

• Building a data foundation for trusted insights 
• Enabling trusted, self-service data for your entire workforce
• Establishing a data governance committee to enable scalability and adaptability

With new, innovative capabilities like generative AI and pressure to monetize data, it's incumbent upon chief data and analytics officers to create an operating model that enables speed, agility and efficiency. But with rapid adoption, come the growing pains of change management. How can CDAOs balance risk and rising costs in this competitive landscape?

Join this session to explore:

• Creating foundational data frameworks and architectures

• Identifying impactful partners and aligning incentives to enable collaboration

• Incubating start-up ecosystems and mentalities

When it comes to GenAI implementation and application, some CDAOs are in active implementation mode while others are still exploring the theoretical space. What successful approaches are companies using to incorporate GenAI into their data strategy, no matter where they are on the journey? 

Join this deep dive with case studies to examine:

• Approaches to data governance
• Embedding a culture of change acceptance
• Best practices with juggling competing priorities

A data-driven approach fosters agility and responsiveness, allowing businesses to adapt to changing environments swiftly. It not only improves decision-making but also leads to more personalized customer experiences and, ultimately, greater competitiveness in today's data-centric world.  Data-driven organizations can respond more swiftly to market shifts and changing customer needs, leading to increased efficiency and innovation.

Join this roundtable discussion to explore:

• Utilizing data to foster innovation 

• Integrating corporate values and principles of fairness and governance to promote responsible and ethical practices

In the past decade, the chief data and analytics officer role emerged to take lead on data and analytics within the enterprise. While some in this role have been quite successful, others have struggled, and a few have even had their functions disbanded. Grounded in unique data and quantitative analysis, Gartner research has been able to shed new insights into the factors that differentiate CDAO 'winners' versus 'losers'. 

Join this Gartner-facilitated workshop to:

• Identify critical practices that lead to success and/or failure within the D&A function
• Stress-test your execution strategy
• Accelerate your path to impact

Diving into the AI frenzy? While few organizations are prepared to support AI, the value of getting it right is transformational. But leaders are cautious about going too fast or deep due to very real risk, governance, and trust concerns. Join us to understand how to avoid key missteps, and to leverage the best of rapidly advancing technology so you can dive-in, with confidence.

Join this session to learn more about:

• Identifying the 5 most common pitfalls of AI
• Trusting Data OPS through AI and ML initiatives
• Harnessing human intuition in your data journey

Garbage in, garbage out. That’s the sentiment from data and analytics leaders regarding data quality. But organizations who adopt data observability are able to do more than just track quality. They can monitor the status and health of data pipelines across architectures and they can be alerted before problems spread downstream.

Join this roundtable session as your peers discuss how to: 

• Identify the gap between current data monitoring and desired outcomes
• Collaborate across teams to target observability use cases
• Track data observability and governance initiatives to measure progress

In an era of abundant data, chief data and analytics officers appreciate the move towards democratization and self-service. But in order for the workforce to take advantage and derive value from these resources, they must first be able to speak and use data properly.

 Join this roundtable discussion as CDAOs discuss:

Generative AI, part of the ‘cognitive solutions’ domain at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), is being embraced as a catalyst for driving productivity, discovery, forecasting/optimization and potential disruption across the global portfolio. But this new tool shouldn’t be seen as a ‘shiny, new toy,’ but rather contextualized as part of both day-to-day operations and strategic efforts. At IFF, the data & analytics lead and the chief information security officer (CISO) are working in lockstep to support a “community of practice” driving collaboration, awareness and engagement with sustainable governance and stewardship of over a century’s worth of data and assets. 

Join this session to explore: 

• Foundational approaches to fostering a safer environment

• Partnering across the enterprise to drive aligned and measurable benefits

• Posturing in this Blackberry™ moment to avoid a Blockbuster™ scenario
