It doesn’t come from checklists or one-size-fits-all frameworks. It comes from leaders, like you, who know how to listen, adapt, and lead across complexity.
EDGO is where today’s data governance professionals come together to explore what works, what’s evolving, and how to navigate the challenges that don’t show up in textbooks.
This isn’t theory. It’s practical, proven, and grounded in real enterprise experience—across industries, teams, and technologies.
Learn how governance leaders are aligning people, processes, and priorities to deliver real business impact.
You’re not alone in this work. Join a community of professionals who understand the realities of modern governance.
Whether you're launching or evolving, walk away with frameworks, tools, and stories to bring back to your organization.
Explore what it takes to shift from managing data to truly enabling trust, scale, and innovation across the enterprise.
Governance programs often falter, not because the frameworks are flawed, but because the people involved feel excluded, overburdened, or disconnected. Success depends on understanding the human element—engaging stakeholders, aligning with their priorities, and turning skeptics into advocates.
In this session, Ajay Mathur, an award-winning public speaker and Enterprise Data Governance Leader at Motability Operations UK, shares how to embed governance into the organizational culture by addressing the needs and behaviors of the people behind the data. Drawing from his experience leading governance at one of Europe’s largest car leasing companies and his work as a podcaster interviewing best-selling authors in storytelling, neuropsychology, and productivity, Ajay will explore:
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have ushered in a new era of opportunity, and unprecedented governance challenges. As organizations race to adopt intelligent systems, the real battleground has shifted from model performance to data readiness, quality, lineage, and ethical controls. This session explores how modern data governance frameworks must evolve to guide AI-driven ecosystems, prevent model drift, reduce digital debt, and deliver trustworthy results at scale.
Drawing on real-world enterprise experiences, this talk demystifies how AI models interpret and rely on organizational data, why governance failures create exponential downstream risk, and how leaders can build an integrated approach that blends human oversight, automated intelligence, and scalable operational controls.
Participants will leave with a practical blueprint for governing machine learning pipelines, strengthening data trust, and preparing their organization for the next generation of AI regulation, innovation, and opportunity
Data governance has become a strategic imperative for many organizations as the 21st-century business landscape has made it almost impossible to compete without leveraging data and analytics. Yet, while organizations know that they need to implement data governance, they struggle with knowing how to get it done. This is because implementing data governance requires organizations to adapt to new ways of thinking about people, processes, and technology. Data governance leaders must enable their organizations to adapt.
This session focuses on the leadership mindsets and behaviors that a newly appointed Senior Data Governance and Analytics Director has found effective in implementing data governance within an entrepreneurial retail organization. With a background in change management and research on the leadership behaviors and mindsets that enable organizational adaptability, Dr. Carol Henry shares the strategies she is leveraging to shift her organization toward managing data as an asset.
The session will focus on:
As organizations race to harness the power of Artificial Intelligence, a critical question emerges: Does governing AI simply fall under the umbrella of Data Governance, or does it require an entirely new framework? This keynote will explore the intersection—and divergence—between traditional Data Governance and the emerging discipline of AI Governance. We’ll examine why governing AI models, algorithms, and ethical considerations introduces complexities beyond data quality and stewardship. Attendees will gain clarity on overlapping principles, key differences, and practical strategies for integrating both disciplines into a cohesive governance approach. Join us to uncover how these governance paradigms can coexist and evolve to ensure trust, compliance, and innovation in the age of AI.
Imagine cutting through the complexity of policies, compliance, and use case reviews with a set of simple, AI-powered tools that you can build in-house—no advanced coding required. This session will introduce you to three game-changing accelerators helping you to quickly enrich data, write and implement policies, and diligently access risk and value of new AI use cases. These accelerators can tackle some of the toughest governance challenges while saving you time and effort and the best part: they are completely DIY!
We’ll share real-world examples and guide you on how to build them using standard AI tools and well-crafted prompts. Whether you’re looking to streamline processes, close governance gaps, or simply make your life easier, this session will give you the inspiration you need to accelerate data governance.
Key Takeaways:
“Data without governance is like a city without traffic lights—chaotic and costly.”
No data governance program succeeds without stakeholder buy-in and resource investment. But with our stakeholders so focused on running the business, it can be hard to communicate the value and the scope of data governance in order to obtain the needed commitment.
Storytelling is a powerful way to bridge this gap and make abstract ideas relatable.
This session will present proven analogies for explaining data governance to non-data audiences, outline the elements of effective storytelling in this context, and share practical tips for making narratives authentic and impactful.
