Join Europe's leading CDOs 

After a decade of shaping the data agenda in the UK, we’re excited to unveil the inaugural CDO BFSI Exchange Europe. This European edition responds to growing demand for a dedicated platform that reflects the region’s unique regulatory, cultural, and technological data landscape.

Rooted in 10 years of peer-led insight and practical transformation, the Exchange invites 60 elite data leaders from banking, financial services, and insurance for two days of high-impact discussions, curated networking, and actionable strategy.

As AI adoption accelerates and compliance pressures mount, the CDO is shifting from building infrastructure to building influence. This Exchange is designed to help you lead that shift by embedding governance into innovation, scaling GenAI responsibly, and proving the business value of data in real terms.

Join us as we connect Europe’s most forward-thinking data leaders to shape the future of financial services.
