🧠 The CDO & CDAO Summit is the world’s longest-running event series focused on Chief Digital Officers (CDOs) and Chief Data & Analytics Officers (CDAOs) — alongside leaders in AI, Digital Transformation, Innovation, Privacy, Governance, and Risk.

🧭 Since 2013, we’ve convened thousands of global C-suite AI/Data/Digital leaders across dozens of summits on five continents — representing the Fortune 500, venture-backed startups, VC/PE firms, government, defense, national security/intelligence, and academia.

🚀 As pioneers in digital, data, and AI leadership, we produced:
2013: World’s first-ever Chief Digital Officer Summit
2023: World’s first-ever Chief AI Officer Summit

💥 We defined the leadership layer of the enterprise data/AI stack — years before others even acknowledged it. While others asked “What’s a CDO?”, we built the global community that made the role indispensable.

🎤 Our speakers and attendees include senior executives from IBM, Microsoft, McKinsey, Accenture, Bain, the White House, the World Bank, NASA, DoD, DHS, and more.

🧠 Topics have included:
• AI, GenAI, & Agentic AI
• Data strategy, governance & literacy
• DX & CX
• Risk, compliance & cybersecurity
• Leadership & the future of work
