Empowering Leaders to Transform AI and Data into Measurable Impact

As data ecosystems expand and AI models scale across industries, tech leaders are under increasing pressure to modernize infrastructure, strengthen risk frameworks, and deliver measurable impact from AI-driven initiatives.

IDC predicts by 2030, 55% of APJ organizations will centrally manage the orchestration of AI agents to boost employee collaboration, seamlessly scale operations, and ensure ethical governance of AI deployments.

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.

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 Series offers practical guidance on scaling AI adoption, strengthening data governance and quality, and ensuring regulatory readiness in a fast-evolving digital landscape.
