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

According to a recent Gartner survey, 96% of respondents say they either have AI in their deployment pipeline or have already initiated projects. At NorthShore University Health System they’re leveraging analytics capabilities and a new AI initiative around natural language processing to aid in health equity; with the mission of reducing healthcare disparities in the care they provide.

 Join this session to explore how they're:

• Using NLP innovation to drive business value
• Integrating insights from AI processes to support patient care
• Improving health equity practices through automation

Data and Analytics leaders have a challenging dual mandate to manage corporate risk and accelerate growth using analytics. Data governance is intended to enable both, but legacy approaches have failed and are simply unequal to the explosion of modern data volumes, rapidly expanding regulation and increasingly data literate employees.

During this executive-level presentation we will examine new, successful strategies that CDOs are using to partner with business stakeholders to embed governance as a part of the corporate culture.

Join this session to learn:

• The top six modern data governance strategies
• How an active data governance process is defined
• How to quickly assess program maturity

AI adoption is increasingly used to beat the competition, release innovative products and services, better meet customer expectations, and drive revenue growth. However, successful AI is not straightforward. AI initiatives require governance, compliance with corporate and ethical principles, laws, and regulations. Stakeholders, customers, and government entities are demanding responsible and explainable AI – including the White House releasing the “Blueprint for AI Bill of Rights” in October.

Join this boardroom to discuss how to:

• Operationalize AI with confidence in your organization
• Better manage AI risk to avoid brand degradation
• Scale while complying with the growing AI regulations

Modern enterprises are migrating from on-premise data infrastructures to the cloud at an unprecedented rate, but in doing so, they must ensure customer and mission-critical data remains secure and protected. Legacy security paradigms simply cannot keep up with the exponential increase of users, data sources, and policies. As a result, modern companies must rethink security strategies with a more innovative, holistic and agile approach that weighs the impacts of the status quo against a successful cloud data strategy.

Join this keynote session where you’ll learn to:

• Upgrade data security through next-generation, real-time monitoring and data stack auditing
• Scale access control through automated tagging
• Navigate the convergence of business, regulatory and contractual controls

By 2025, graph technologies will be used in 80% of data and analytics innovations. Data and analytics leaders are embracing graph technologies to build real-time services that deliver contextually relevant analytics, greater customer engagement, increased revenues and reduced operational costs.

Join this session as we discuss:

• Building data fabrics, digital twins and accelerating ML / AI with enterprise knowledge graphs
• Identifying opportunities to propel key business objectives
• Driving value through improved predictions and decision making

Join this interactive session to discuss:

• Defining data ethics to mitigate unintended bias
• Developing strategy to attract and retain talent
• Anticipating and preparing for the art of the possible

Understanding the relationships within data is a vital component of analytics. For data and analytics leaders, shifting through enormous amounts of siloed enterprise data results in significant lag time.
