Building Strong Foundations for Smarter and Sustainable Data Leadership
Too often, organisations rush to adopt the latest technology without laying the right foundations or asking the right questions. Shifting the focus from solutions-first to problem-led strategies enables businesses to build long-term value. By strengthening data foundations, embedding literacy and trust, and positioning data as a true strategic enabler, leaders can unlock sustainable growth, gain influence at the boardroom table, and innovate responsibly without losing sight of governance or culture.
On 11th March 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:
What to expect:
“The Data Collective team was professional, supportive and enabling. They ensured, as a roundtable host, that the process to engage with the event and prepare was seamless and fully supported. Throughout the process the team took considerable and intentional effort to make me feel included and comfortable to be my authentic self in preparation and at the event.” – Managing Director - Process Improvement and Data Management, Moody’s
“Thoroughly enjoyable event, well structured, organised and executed. The days format wasn’t too busy and enabled discussions with fellow data peers and to build new relationships.” – Data Culture Lead, SMBC
“A real pleasure to break my "Data Collective" duck and connect with so many like-minded data and analytics leaders in London. The focused round tables were the perfect forum to connect, share and learn.” – Global Head of Business Analytics, HH Global
“A fantastic opportunity to share experiences and pick up useful thoughts and ideas with fellow data leaders. The panel discussion and the roundtables were all very interesting and engaging and I had a lot of good conversations. I was also able to make contact with a vendor with whom we are discussing engaging support on a consultancy basis with a technology migration challenge. Very enjoyable and very useful. I will attend again.” – Group Head of Data and Analytics, Frontline
