Houston CDAO Executive Summit

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

For industries born before the digital age, such as energy, it’s a race to modernize when it comes to edging out the competition. At Quantum Energy Partners, the digital team is building out an energy cloud with machine learning operations platform that is serving custom digital solutions for various streams within energy value chain.

Join this session as their head of data science shares how they’re:

• Building a portfolio of digital assets within the energy sector
• Supporting analytics-based decision-making across disparate sources
• Prioritizing efficiency while targeting best-in-class performance

Data observability is the natural evolution of the data quality movement and a strategic approach can accelerate an organization’s ability to resolve data issues quickly. How can CDOs integrate activities and technologies into the end-to-end data operations workflow to enhance visibility and propel the business forward?

Join this interactive boardroom to discuss:

• The mix of activities and technologies that create greater data observability
• Best practices of incident management applied to data operations
• Building end-to-end visibility to accelerate incident response

The rapid growth in both data volume and the number of data users poses a new challenge to the goal of deriving business value from data. Data Fabric and Data Mesh are two different architectural concepts that promise to address this problem. However, they are often misunderstood as competing approaches. In reality, they are complementary, and together can help you drive business value from data at scale.

Join the GM of Bed Bath & Beyond and the CEO of Nexla as they discuss how to:

• Bring intelligence to data processing tasks with a Data Fabric architecture
• Leverage logical Data Products for streaming and real-time data processing
• Automate workflow and pipeline creation across distributed data sources

In this hypercompetitive landscape, it's more challenging than ever for data and analytics leaders to acquire the talent they need to support a digital business. CDOs grapple with the best ways to attract and retain top prospects that are capable of empowering the future enterprise. In this session, we take a unique approach by listening to talent entering the workforce tomorrow.

In this interactive Q&A session, students from Texas A&M University and data and analytics leaders explore:

• Identifying the data and analytics skills needed now and for the future
• Understanding the expectations of data talent in the workforce
• Pinpointing gaps in enterprise expectations vs. collegiate curriculum

The speed of collecting and analyzing data is faster than ever before, and businesses that fall short lose a competitive advantage. Data and analytics leaders are challenged to centralize data across the enterprise to make strategic business decisions.

Join this interactive roundtable as CDOs discuss ways to:

• Identify key features of agile analytics to expand new growth opportunities
• Build an agile data stack that drives impactful business insights
• Support a self-service data access model to reduce bottlenecks and demands on data teams
