CIO & CDO National Virtual Summit October 28, 2020
New York, NY, October 19th, 2020 - Apex Assembly will be bringing together 60+ CIO's, CTO's, CDO's as well as other Divisional IT Leaders from F500 and Global 2000 Enterprise organizations. In collaboration with industry leading speakers and our Sponsors ModelOp, Datastax, Qlik, Cloudera and Vertica we will examine the challenges in 2020 and concentrate on the most pressing issues that lie ahead in 2021.
Our opening Keynote Panel will bring together Jeff Richardson, CDO at Bentley Systems, Olga Lagunova, Chief Data & Analytics Officer at Pitney Bowes and Jeanne Holm, Chief Data Officer at City of LA to discuss “Data Trends & Challenges for CDOs in 2020“ moderated by Stu Bailey, Co-Founder, Chief Enterprise AI Architect at ModedOp.
Stu Bailey, Co-Founder, Chief Enterprise AI Architect at ModelOp will then present on “Scale and Govern AI Initiatives with ModelOps“. According to Gartner, ModelOps lies at the center of any organizations’ enterprise AI strategy. Hear from Stu Bailey, co-founder and Chief Enterprise AI Architect, how ModelOp, leader in the ModelOps category, is helping its customers to operationalize all models across the enterprise in a world with models of all types, regulations and the need for explainability and visibility. Scale AI, while staying compliant and achieving your business goals.
We will then have Bryan Kirschner, Vice President, Strategy at Datastax lead a session on “The Secret to a Data-Driven Enterprise“. Data-driven enterprises use data and insights to fundamentally change the value proposition they offer to customers. The best among them catalyze a virtuous cycle in which more customers generate more data that is used to further enrich products and services, creating a sustainable competitive advantage. This requires orchestrating process, culture, and technology around making the most of data’s distinctive–and disruptive–economics.
Following that session we will have Qlik’s Chief Data Officer, Joe DosSantos with a thought leadership session on “The Evolving Role of Data Governance in an AI and Data Ops World“. Traditional data governance had a principle aim of protecting the integrity of key business data for reporting, be it regulatory, financial or other strategic KPIs. This meant that focus was generally around data quality and lineage of critical data elements that could be found on strategic reports. But in the age of modern analytics, there is more urgency to use increasingly rawer data, creating an overwhelming task of managing and protecting potentially hundreds or even thousands of sources and fields to unlock value. This session will outline how modern data discovery and catalog techniques can be used to shift data governance further up the data funnel and how these techniques can accelerate the production of high value predictive models at speed in a Data Ops methodology.
Our CXO Panel will be moderated by Jeremiah Morrow, Senior Product Marketing Manager – Partner Ecosystem at Vertica and will focus on “The Future Enterprise AI: Data Analytics, Data Science and Machine Learning“. On this panel we will have Dr. Satyam Priyadarshy, Chief Data Scientist at Halliburton, Pramod Singh, Chief Analytics Officer & VP of Data Science at Envestnet Yodlee, Deep Sogani, Managing Director, Data Analytics & Cloud from FedEx Services and Tim Dickson, CIO of Generac Power Systems.
Following this esteemed panel of executives we will have Wim Stoop, Director of Product Marketing at Cloudera discuss “Conquering hybrid cloud with consistent data security and governance“. As organizations, we manage ever more data across an expanding heterogeneous landscape of clouds and data centers. This fragmentation as well as increasing (data privacy) regulation presents new business risks, drives operational costs and hampers the ability to gain insight and value from data. In this session we’ll discuss how an enterprise data cloud delivers not just the analytics for the data life-cycle across hybrid cloud, but also how it provides consistent security and governance, regardless of where your data lives.
We will then have Shrikant Dash, Strategic Advisor at ModelOp moderate our panel on “Governing, Integrating and Implementing Model, Data, AI & ML Initiatives“. Joining this panel will be Cetin Karakus, Global Head of Quantitative & Analytical Solutions at BP, Ron Bodkin, VP AI Engineering & CIO at Vector Institute, Jacob Kosoff, Head of Model Risk at Regions Bank and Agus Sudjianto, EVP, Head of Corporate Model Risk at Wells Fargo.
To wrap up an incredible afternoon of content, we will have our Closing Keynote Panel: “Aligning, Moving and Prioritizing Data Analytics Workloads to the Cloud for Performance Optimization“. Vishal Chawla, Former SVP Customer Experience & Analytics at Ipsos will moderate the session with our panelists Kiran Karnati, Director Data Architecture from Nationwide, Rebecca Hofmann Head of Innovation at Equinor, Meenakshi Thanikachalam, Head of Data Strategy, Architecture, Analytics from Ally and Phanii Pydimarri Head of Global Data Science, Analytics, AI from Bose.
Through these thought leadership sessions and panels we will bring to the forefront today's top successes, challenges and focus areas for CIO and CDO in the enterprise.
