The IDC Canada AI and Data Summit is the premier event for senior technology and business executives driving artificial intelligence and data strategies across the country. Designed for CDOs, Heads of Data, and AI and innovation leaders, this full-day program delivers high-impact insights and actionable strategies focused on Canada’s top priorities: scaling AI adoption, ensuring data quality and governance, and managing regulatory compliance in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

As Canadian organizations accelerate investment in AI and data-driven transformation, they must navigate complex challenges such as data privacy, ethical AI, and the forthcoming Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA). IDC research shows that data quality, integration, and accessibility remain top barriers to realizing AI’s business value, and that organizations are increasingly focused on operationalizing AI responsibly to build stakeholder trust. This event equips leaders to turn data into a trusted strategic asset while embedding transparency, ethics, and accountability into AI initiatives.

IDC analysts and industry experts will guide you through building future-ready data architectures, operationalizing AI responsibly, and delivering measurable business impact. Through keynote sessions, panels, and collaborative discussions, this event provides Canada’s leaders with the tools and frameworks to transform AI and data into a foundation for innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth.
