NEW THIS YEAR
🔹Two dedicated tracks — because one size doesn’t fit all.
We’re running parallel tracks for Financial Services and Insurance, so whether you’re focused on retail banking, asset management, or underwriting and risk, you’ll get tailored insights from people who face the same realities you do.
🔹 The regulatory shifts you can’t ignore.
The FCA’s evolving framework will reshape data governance. We’ll unpack what’s coming and how smart leaders are already preparing.
🔹 New Focus: Navigating Economic Uncertainty in Data & AI
In response to tightening budgets and fewer resources, we’ll explore how data leaders are adapting to economic uncertainty, uncovering new strategies, and seizing opportunities to do more with less.
🔹 Workshops and closed-door roundtables.
This year, we’ve built the agenda around interactive formats. You won’t just sit and listen — you’ll challenge ideas, ask your toughest questions, and leave with answers from people who’ve been there.
🔹 AI and data strategy at the sharp end.
From predictive analytics in risk management to agentic AI transforming operations, we’ll focus on what’s creating impact right now — and what’s around the corner.
