Speaker spotlight: Introducing the first 17 speakers at the Data 2030 Summit

Data 2030 Summit

The new data and AI industrialisation requires a shift from the old data legacy systems and adjusting the data strategy to incorporate the 2030 business vision. At the same time, data is becoming an even more precious asset which creates a greater demand for it and more pressure on IT departments to deliver faster, continuous, reliable, secured and higher quality data. In order to support the increasing demand for data and predictive models, organisations need to rethink their Data Management strategy.

However, we’ve previously seen that data management remains a fundamental challenge to solve even as we are moving towards data-first and AI-driven organisations. There are also different levels of maturity when it comes to data which reflects into companies’ appointing departments and leaders responsible for how the data is used and managed. Yet, it’s positive to see that the role of the CDO is reinforced as organisations are grasping the value of data and having a solid data strategy to support business goals.

On the other hand, the rise of the cloud-enabled infrastructure, or multi-cloud platform offers unprecedented opportunities for flexible and scalable data management. Moreover, we witness the rapid adoption of DataOps methodology aimed at reducing the cycle time of data analytics by establishing a collaborative data management practice focused on improving communication, integration and automation of data flow between data managers and data consumers across an organisation. 

Many great, yet exciting changes are happening in the Data Management scene as we speak. And in order to address all these needs and challenges in the process of designing a Modern Data Management strategy to enable faster Data & AI Innovation, we have designed the Data 2030 Summit – an event focused on the most critical pillars when designing your future enabled Data Management strategy and technology stack: Data Governance, Data Quality, Cloud or Multi-Cloud enabled infrastructure and DataOps.

In the previous article, we spoke with our Editorial Director Saranda Arifi to get a closer look at what the Data 2030 Summit is all about and why it should be on the agenda of every company that is serious about creating a Modern Data Management strategy.

Now, we are super excited to introduce you to the first 17 speakers at the Data 2030 Summit 2021, all data experts who are going to selflessly share their knowledge and experience during the 3-day programme.
