Hear from Cincinnati Global Data Leadership Summit 2024 Attendees

CDO Magazine Summit is unlike any conference I've has been to. I learned more in one day at this summit than in multi-week trainings. Hearing from peers who are grappling with or have solved issues I am currently working on has given me actionable tasks and scheduled brainstorms with new CDO Magazine community friends for when I am back in DC.

CDO Magazine Summit is a very well-attended event, with leaders across a variety of industries representing the forward strides companies are making in data management and governance, enterprise AI strategy, foundational capabilities of data security, quality and observability, and so many more rich and relevant topics. It was so great to be part of the annual global CDO Magazine Summit in Cincinnati, Ohio. The collective experience, knowledge and perspectives in the room were staggering. I enjoyed being on the panel to discuss how companies are creating growth and efficiency in their business through AI, and how they are capturing the ROI around this transformation,
