Agenda Day 1

1:40 PM THINK TANK: THE ENVIRONMENTAL COST OF AI - WHO IS ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPACT?

AI's environmental footprint is growing- but remains poorly measured. A single generative AI query can use up to 5 times more energy than a traditional search, with AI projected to add up to 44 million metric tons of CO2 annually by 2030. With many organisations pursuing sustainability targets, the lack of clear visibility or consistent standards to measure AI's impact could soon be a problem.

Share your current approaches to understanding and measuring the environmental footprint of AI.
Debate the role of data leaders in balancing AI-driven innovation with sustainability obligations.
Weigh in on practical strategies to reduce AI's environmental impact.

5:00 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: THE TALENT CRISIS IN DATA - CAN YOU HIRE YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS?

The rules of hiring in data and analytics are being rewritten- organisations now need talent who can connect data, AI and real business outcomes. With AI tools generating polished answers in seconds, distinguishing genuine expertise from surface-level knowledge is becoming increasingly difficult. At the same time, the pathway for developing junior talent is narrowing, as entry-level tasks are automated this creates long-term risks for workforce sustainability. This creates a new leadership imperative- building credible, future-ready teams in a market where roles, skills and expectations are constantly evolving.

Understand how roles are evolving and why business fluency is becoming as critical as technical skill.
Learn how to assess true capability in the age of AI, identifying talent that can apply judgement and commercial thinking.
Explore strategies to close the junior talent gap while attracting and retaining high-performing individuals to build future-ready teams.
