The go-to event for data professionals who want to rethink how governance is done. Join experts reimagining the future of what AI-readiness looks like

Data Leaders Forum is happening on April 9, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST. This event is all about making data governance smarter, scalable, and AI-friendly. Instead of the same old compliance talk, expect fresh perspectives on managing data quality, lineage, and access without getting in the way of innovation.

The way we govern data is broken... For years, governance has been seen as slow, bureaucratic, and a blocker to innovation. But in 2025, that mindset won’t cut it. Governance isn’t just about compliance anymore, it’s about enabling AI, reducing risk, and driving real business impact.

Why you should be at Data Leaders Forum:

  • AI is moving fast, and governance needs to keep up. If you think governance will slow you down, you need to hear how top companies are making governance a competitive advantage, not a bottleneck. Featuring keynote speakers like Chad Sanderson (CEO, Gable), Jes Carney (Director of Data Engineering, Brooklyn Data (Velir's data studio), Tyler Fischella (Global Director of Data & AI Governance Delivery, Onix)
  • Bad data is costing companies millions. Duplicated, ungoverned, and poor-quality data kills AI efforts before they start. We’ll cover how companies are cutting waste, improving accuracy, and scaling governance seamlessly. Hear from data governance pros like Beatrice Dlesk (Data Governance Lead, ID.me) and Clint Shannon (Sr. Director, Corporate Systems, Alegeus)
  • Old playbooks don’t work anymore. Governance has evolved beyond compliance checkboxes. We’ll show you how to align governance with business strategy and unlock new opportunities instead of just mitigating risk.

Data governance from 1995 won't cut it anymore. Reimagine data governance and what it takes to be on AI ready.
