Chief Data Officer Strategy Summits

San Francisco & Boston

Exclusive, Bi-Annual Gathering for CDOs: 11th Edition

10th Anniversary Edition Overview: June 24-25, 2019

OVERVIEW

In 2014 we partnered with IBM on the Chief Data Officer Strategy Summit. The key requirement at the time was to support IBM in cementing themselves as thought leaders with Chief Data Officers and de-facto titles at medium to large scale enterprises. 

We have continued to build on the success of this event which has resulted in 10 events in Boston and San-Francisco.

Since its inception, the CDO Summit has grown in size and scope and now welcomes 130+ attendees per event.

PROGRAM CREATION

Based on the client's key requirements, we undertake an extensive research project with our network of senior data leaders, enabling us to craft an engaging and interactive agenda whilst aligning with partner key messaging.

Acquiring industry-leading and thought-provoking speakers is essential to the success of the event. Through our speaker acquisition campaigns, we acquire cutting edge data and analytics practitioners, who come together to share their knowledge, network and learn in a collaborative format.

This allows our sole sponsor to position themselves as industry experts within the agenda by bringing their own thought-leaders to the event.

Client Testimonials

  • "The CDO Summit was an excellent opportunity to connect with peers across the industry. It provided a community in that we all experiencing similar challenges in leading change, and provided intelligence for leaders that are actively overcoming those barriers. The event helps to advance the data mission in the spirit of cooperation."

  • "This was my first time attending the CDO Summit event. I thought most of the attendees would be from the Bay Area and I would be a solo person - in minority - flying in to attend. I was proven wrong. People flew from Ecuador to attend this event. This was a well organized event with a fast paced agenda. Attendees were experts in their fields. Keynotes were immensely helpful. Discussion groups also provided value add. Overall a great event to hear and discuss new and upcoming trends, and to learn from peers. This event will make you feel better because you quickly realize that it is NOT just you who is having some tough challenges."

  • "The CDO summit does not fail to impress. Best part about this summit is that the conversations are around what keeps data leaders up at night, featuring stories and key learnings around that. There are no sales talks or conversations as with so many other summits. Thank you so much."
