Summary

As CDOs take on a greater responsibility in shaping enterprise-wide data strategy, the pressure to deliver measurable business value through artificial intelligence (AI), governance and analytics continues to intensify. But identifying high-impact use cases, and how to scale them, remains a challenge.

This exclusive virtual roundtable brings together CDOs from EMEA and LATAM for a peer-led conversation on advancing next-gen data strategies. You’ll explore how data leaders are navigating emerging AI capabilities, tightening regulations and rising expectations around data-driven experiences.

Gain practical insights, validate your approach and connect with fellow CDOs solving the same complex challenges. During this roundtable, you will:

  • Explore the practical application of generative and agentic AI, including use cases that drive business outcomes and how to measure their impact
  • Learn how leading organisations are evolving their data governance models to keep pace with regulatory demands while enabling responsible data use at scale
  • Discuss how to unify data, modernise infrastructure and foster data literacy to unlock value from analytics, customer experience and enterprise-wide data initiatives
