Atlanta CDAO Community
Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner for attendees to launch the event with an evening of peer networking.

In today's modern, digital landscape, data and analytics are vital to the success of organizations across the globe. But without a robust D&A strategy and stakeholder buy-in, chief data and analytics officers will be ineffective. When championing a D&A program, CDAOs must bring the organization along for each step of the journey.

Join this keynote session as Nissan's CDAO shares how to:

• Create business value with D&A no matter the use case
• Never lose the pulse on talent — whether recruiting or retaining
• Leap frog with technology — leveraging cutting edge tools

• Key strategies for communicating new trends to stakeholders

• Identify the gap between your current data management approach and desired outcomes
• Track data observability and governance initiatives to measure progress
