The Data Leadership Forum on AI

Get the payoff AI promised


October 28, 2026
3:30 PM ET | 12:30 PM PT
2:00 PM GMT | 3:00 PM CET

Every organization is racing to deliver value from AI—yet most are hitting the same wall: the data. Gartner predicts 60% of AI projects will be abandoned because they aren’t supported by AI-ready data. A new approach is needed—one built on data primacy, not application-centric fragmentation—to close the growing gap between AI's promise and its payoff.

Join data and AI leaders for a candid reckoning with what's really standing between potential and production: data readiness, governance, and true intelligence about your entire data estate. Hear it straight from the people shaping the conversations.
