In every industry, data leaders face the same stubborn problems: building trust in GenAI, embedding governance into products, transforming fragile data cultures into scalable ecosystems, demystifying data value to the board - as well as proving value in the CDO role itself. 

But no one solves these challenges alone.

Enter the CDO Exchange - an invite-only executive gathering of 70 senior data, analytics, and AI leaders from across the UK's industries for two days of closed-door, peer-driven benchmarking. From regulated giants to digital-native disruptors, this is where cross-industry collaboration becomes a catalyst for real, replicable, and scalable change.

No buzzwords. No panels for show. 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 your biggest strategic blockers. 

Because in 2026, CDOs don’t need just another conference, there's plenty of them. What they need is clarity, community, and the vision to do things differently. That's what we provide at the CDO Exchange 2026.
