IDC & Mastek Executive Dinner
The CDO Reality: Strengthening Data for AI Success and the Roadmap to Agentic AI
For BFSI Chief Data Officers, the AI conversation is no longer about ambition, it is about whether the data foundation can hold.
GenAI adoption is near universal in financial services, with 94% of FSIs already using it. Agentic AI is right behind, with 45% are already deploying it and another 40% plan to within 24 months. Yet only 25-27% of AI initiatives ever make it to production.
IDC and Mastek will convene a curated group of senior technology leaders for an evening of insights, sharing intelligence, challenging assumptions, and leaving with a clearer path forward.
