    Empowering Data Governance: Navigating Ethical Horizons with Generative AI – KEYNOTE

    Presented by: Nick White – Head of Data Analytics & AI, Origin Digital

    In an era where Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping our world, the importance of Data Governance (DG) and Data Quality (DQ) has never been more pronounced. Join us as we explore how the power and availability of GenAI can improve DG and DQ programs while underscoring the continued pivotal role of human inputs in shaping ethical, accurate, and reliable data practices. The spotlight has never been as focused on AI, and it is up to DG and DQ practitioners to ensure no harm is done and value is realized.

    Where MDM and Data Governance Collide

    Presented by: Robert S. Seiner – President and Principal, KIK Consulting and Educational Services

    Most people agree that you cannot deliver Master Data without Data Governance. The practice of MDM even results (often enough) in a separate initiative labeled Master Data Governance. DG and MDG should not be conflicting disciplines. Do you want to know why?

    Join Bob Seiner for his EDGO session where he will focus on what to do when your MDM and Data Governance initiatives butt heads. Bob will focus on the motions of DG that echo many of the activities that go into delivering Master Data. There must be common ground --- and it is time for a truce.

    1:30
