Designing Data Organisations for Impact in the Age of AI

As data continues to play a critical role in business strategy, organisations are rethinking how their data teams, platforms, and governance models are designed to deliver sustainable value. Success depends not just on technology, but on building data organisations that can learn, adapt, and embed ownership, trust, and accountability across the business.

This event will explore how data leaders are evolving operating models, modernising platforms, strengthening governance, and driving real business impact - while balancing innovation with control.

On 16th September 2026, we will be bringing together 80+ senior data leaders from across industries to take part in genuine peer-to-peer discussions about key topics in the space.

Speakers include:
