ABOUT THIS EDITION

Successful businesses are those that harness the power of data not just as a static asset but as a dynamic, real-time resource that informs every strategic decision. With data now central to business strategy, the Chief Data Officer (CDO) plays a vital role in driving enterprise-wide impact.

Attendees will gain insights into overcoming key challenges—from balancing data governance with regulatory requirements to embedding a data-first mindset across the organization.
