CIO/ CDO National Virtual Summit

October 28, 2020

CIO/ CDO National Virtual Summit

In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO/ CDO has become the most dynamic amongst their peers. CIOs are focused on finding the most transformative technologies that enable them to bring value to their enterprise and customers.

Adopting an enterprise wide transformation strategy is driven by fundamental shifts in internal and external forces that impact the business and how it operates. Disruptive technologies are being introduced to the market faster than ever and executives must have the ability to align and address the enterprise-wide transformation challenges. These changes will ultimately influence strategic planning, business operations and the overall trajectory of the operating model moving forward. With unceasing demands, technology has become more complex and solution providers more difficult to decipher.

Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges of 2019 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2020 in the information technology sector.

Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.

Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.

Anyone can log in from anywhere. All you need is WiFi.

Thought Leadership: “The Evolving Role of Data Governance in an AI and Data Ops World

Joe DosSantos
Chief Data Officer



read more »

Traditional data governance had a principle aim of protecting the integrity of key business data for reporting, be it regulatory, financial or other strategic KPIs. This meant that focus was generally around data quality and lineage of critical data elements that could be found on strategic reports. But in the age of modern analytics, there is more urgency to use increasingly rawer data, creating an overwhelming task of managing and protecting potentially hundreds or even thousands of sources and fields to unlock value. This session will outline how modern data discovery and catalog techniques can be used to shift data governance further up the data funnel and how these techniques can accelerate the production of high value predictive models at speed in a Data Ops methodology.

  • The role of the CDO is expanding from a defensive posture to a value driver
  • Data Governance for AI and predictive modeling requires a new method of data governance anchored around easy but secure access to data in addition to aspects such as lineage and quality
  • Data Ops methodology changes are key to delivering demonstrable value

Thought Leadership Presenter: “Conquering hybrid cloud with consistent data security and governance

Wim Stoop
Director, Product Marketing



read more »

As organizations, we manage ever more data across an expanding heterogeneous landscape of clouds and data centers. This fragmentation as well as increasing (data privacy) regulation presents new business risks, drives operational costs and hampers the ability to gain insight and value from data.

In this session we’ll discuss how an enterprise data cloud delivers not just the analytics for the data life-cycle across hybrid cloud, but also how it provides consistent security and governance, regardless of where your data lives.

You will learn:
– The benefit of an enterprise data cloud
– The importance of defining a data strategy before a Cloud strategy
– How to securely gain access to self-service data and analytics
