Good data depends on people knowing what they are supposed to do and then doing it – this is data governance. Here, Gerard will discuss how you can lay the groundwork for a successful data strategy using clarity & communication.
Plenary
Our Plenary sessions bring together all attendees in a single virtual room – concentrating the event’s focus on a series of high-profile content sessions. These content sessions include presentations from our keynote speakers, short & snappy “Five-Minute Ideas”, as well as expertly moderated panel discussions.
Each Plenary session will be accompanied by Q&A from the audience, allowing you to ask follow-up questions.
Discussion Rooms
Periodically during the conference the audience will split to into three Discussion Rooms, for a 40-minute interactive Q&A, hosted by a leading manufacturer and a technology expert. Each Discussion Room is dedicated to a specific topic, and you can choose the ones that are most relevant to you.
In each session, you’ll hear insights from both of your co-hosts before an extended, moderated Q&A using questions submitted in advance, and live on the day.
