THE UK'S PREMIER INVITATION-ONLY COMMUNITY MEETING FOR SENIOR DATA LEADERS

18-19 March 2026 | London, United Kingdom
SEE THE 2025 POST EVENT REPORT

In every industry, data leaders are facing the same hard truths: governance often slows more than it steers, AI promises more than it delivers, and cultures are still catching up to the ambitions of the business. Add shrinking margins, rising scrutiny, and the pressure to prove data value in months, not years; the challenge isn’t technology, it’s friction. As the role of the Chief Data Officer evolves from a custodian to commercial driver with clear business impact, that friction only grows more complex.

But no one solves these challenges alone.

Enter the CDO Exchange - an invite-only executive gathering of 60 senior data, analytics, and AI leaders from across the UK for two days of closed-door, honest, peer benchmarking. From government and retail to finance, media, energy, and digital disruptors, this is where cross-industry collaboration becomes a catalyst for real, replicable, and scalable change.

No buzzwords, no filler panels. Just candid insight into what’s working (and what isn’t), curated 1-to-1 meetings with partners who can help, and an agenda built around embedding governance into delivery, readying culture for production AI, commercialising data safely, and proving impact in a thin-margin market. 

Because in 2026, CDOs don’t need more hype. They need clarity, credibility, and a community that helps them move faster where it matters most. That’s what the CDO Exchange 2026 delivers.
