Artificial intelligence is transforming entire industries, enabling organizations to process and learn from an ever-growing cache of data like never before. That innovation does not, unfortunately, come with a conscience out of the box.
AI alone cannot ensure that data is used safely, legally, and ethically. In an era of new and evolving privacy regulations, data-driven misinformation campaigns, and increased risks for data breaches, organizations must think through their entire data protection strategy, and embrace data privacy as part of the process.
Data minimization can help to protect privacy, support regulatory compliance and build better machine learning models. Leading organizations will embrace this. It will mean that their AI projects are future-proof, compliant and align with their values.
Join a panel of peers and experts who will share some of their insights on the topic of ‘ethical AI’, explore what it means and how organizations can achieve it, and ensure accountability and traceability for its use.

Graph algorithms such as PageRank, community detection and similarity matching have moved from the classroom to the data scientist’s and business analyst’s toolkit. Organizations are gaining actionable insights by connecting and analyzing their data.
Machine learning is an essential approach for getting the most insight out of your data. Machine learning enables data scientists and business users to scale their analysis and, when used in combination with graph algorithms, provides unprecedented insights that can have significant real-world impact.
During this session we will:
- Describe the five categories of graph algorithms: Shortest Path, Centrality, Community Detection, Similarity, and Classification;
- Explain how graphs provide an intuitive data model to improve the accuracy of supervised machine learning with new training data & power explainable AI;
- Examine how in-database machine learning such as deep learning, community detection, and low-rank approximation is possible with scalable native graph databases;
- Share how modern graph analytics tools can provide no-code data import, querying, feature extraction, and ML training.
We will cover use cases and case studies for graph analytics and machine learning that include real-time fraud detection at seven of the top ten global banks, personalized offers for 300 million consumers, and care path recommendations to improve the well-being of 50 million patients.

Executive Vision Presenter: “Demystifying Data Gravity & AI“

| Dave McCrory VP of Growth and Global Head of Insights |

What do you get when you take the laws of physics and the laws of IT and intersect them with digital transformation? The answer is data gravity, the single biggest challenge facing all companies today and into the foreseeable future. Data gravity inhibits workflow performance, raises security concerns, and increases costs, all complicated by regulatory and legacy architecture constraints.
In this information-packed session – delivered by Dave McCrory, VP of Growth and Global Head of Insights and Analytics at Digital Realty – you’ll gain a deep understanding of the intensity and implications of accelerated data growth and increasing data gravity on global enterprises.
This is a unique opportunity to take a deep dive into how your organization should leverage the effects of data gravity, instead of resisting them. The growing popularity of capabilities like virtual and augmented reality require multi-tenant data centers that are built to support next-gen technologies and applications.
- Understand the data creation lifecycle, influencing factors and macro trends contributing to the explosion of data gravity.
- Dive into our patent-pending formula for measuring data gravity.
- See how fast data gravity intensity is forecasted to spike globally through 2024, comparing more than 50 metros and seven industries that include Banking and Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing and others.
- Learn about the implications of such accelerated data gravity growth, which now requires a connected data community approach between enterprises, connectivity, cloud and content providers integrating core, cloud and edge at centers of data exchange, implementing a secure, hybrid IT and data-centric architecture globally at points of business presence.

We understand that something may come up on your calendar! Before canceling with us, please know that we will have a separate room for attendees to step out for work-related activities (meetings, emails, conference calls, etc.). If you must cancel, we just ask that you let us know at least 48 hours in advance so that we can open up the waitlist for another member.
In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CDO and Heads of Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning have 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 2020 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2021 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.
