Keynotes | CDO/CAIO Agenda in the Age of Accelerated AI

Our Plenary session brings focus on the future of data and AI transformation. Caitlin Halferty (Head of Data and Analytics at Thomson Reuters) reveals Thomson Reuters’ journey from information provider to AI partner, while Professors Christine Legner (UNIL) and Olivier Verscheure (Swiss Data Science Centre, ETH Zurich + EPFL) deliver a call to action on adapting data and AI capabilities to rapid AI evolution. The closing session with Carsten Dehner (Group CAIO at VIG), Una Shortt (Group CDO at Schneider Electric), Rainer Hoffmann (CDO at EnBW), and Arnaud Balthazar (Group CDO at Axa) shares practical insights to set the data and AI transformation agenda right.

Track 2 | Agents, Data & Humans in the Loop

Track 2 will be about the future of human-AI collaboration: Szymon Myslinski (VP Enterprise AI & Architecture, PMI) shares how to evolve from 1,000 Use Cases to One AI Factory. Siddharth (Sidd) Rajagopal (Field CTO) and Gregory Leproux (VP, Solution Engineering) from Informatica by Salesforce reveal how to bridge data foundations with human oversight. Debmalya Biswas (Executive Director - AI CoE Lead, UBS) provides a practical blueprint for building responsible agentic systems. Take a look at the agenda for more details.

Platinum Sponsor | Informatica from Salesforce

Informatica from Salesforce knows that agents don't see the world, they see data - and data without context is just noise. As AI agents move to production, the hardest problem isn't building the agent, it's knowing when a human should step in. Join our session, Trusted Enterprise Context: Scaling Collaboration Between People and AI Agents in the Enterprise, at this year's CDOIQ Symposium, where we make the case for a Data Foundation backed by Trusted Enterprise Context, covering governance, scalability, and keeping the human in the loop.

Gold Sponsor | Bosch SDS and MongoDB

Bosch SDS and MongoDB share a common ambition: turning data foundations into scalable business value. As AI reshapes how organizations build software, products, and services, reusable and trusted data products are becoming increasingly critical. This session brings together Bosch's experience navigating a complex industrial environment with MongoDB's perspective on modern data and application architecture. Together, they'll explore what it actually takes to make data products AI-ready, reusable, and valuable at scale — from technical foundations to organizational practice.

At CDOIQ Europe 2026, this joint perspective contributes to the broader industry conversation on how organizations can move beyond simply managing data toward creating repeatable value — through AI, digital products, ecosystem collaboration, and new data-driven business models.
