Empowering leaders to transform AI and data into measurable impact
As organizations accelerate AI and data-driven transformation, they face growing challenges around regulation, governance, and trust. From the AI Act and GDPR to NIS2, compliance and innovation must evolve together.
IDC research reveals that 29% of enterprises struggle with data quality and availability as the top barrier to realizing AI value. More than 90% share data externally, yet only 30% do so strategically.
The IDC AI & Data Summit Series brings together senior technology and business leaders to tackle these critical issues — helping them turn data into a trusted, strategic asset while embedding transparency, ethics, and sovereignty into every AI initiative.
Throughout the summit, IDC analysts and industry experts will share how to build future-ready data architectures, operationalize AI responsibly, and deliver measurable business impact. Through a mix of keynotes, panels, and collaborative discussions, this high-impact forum equips leaders with the insights and frameworks to transform AI and data into engines of innovation, resilience, and growth.
Designed for CDOs, Heads of Data, and AI and innovation leaders, the IDC AI & Data Summit offers practical guidance on scaling AI adoption, strengthening data governance and quality, and ensuring regulatory readiness in a fast-evolving digital landscape.
