Overview

Artificial Intelligence and Data Management are at the heart of Canada’s digital transformation. Organizations across the country are accelerating innovation while navigating evolving frameworks for data privacy, AI ethics, and digital governance. Initiatives such as Canada’s Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) and provincial privacy laws are setting new standards for responsible AI and secure data use. Success in this environment demands not only agility, but also trust, resilience, and strong governance.

These priorities highlight why effective data management is the critical foundation for realizing AI’s potential.

Join senior data, AI, and technology executives alongside IDC analysts for a day of high-level sessions designed for business and IT leaders in Canada. You’ll gain practical frameworks, strategic insights, and leadership tools to unlock the value of AI, strengthen data management capabilities, and drive responsible, innovation-led growth:

  • Build trustworthy, secure, and scalable data infrastructures.
  • Overcome data quality and governance challenges.
  • Embed compliance, ethics, and transparency into AI initiatives.
  • Translate AI and data strategies into measurable business value.
