Washington D.C. — September 23, 2026 — Senior data, analytics, and AI leaders from across industries will gather at the Le Meridien. on September 23, 2026, for CDAO Washington D.C., a cross-industry forum focused on the practical challenges organizations face as data and AI move from experimentation into enterprise execution.
As organizations continue investing in AI capabilities, leaders are facing a new set of challenges: proving business value, establishing responsible governance, improving data foundations, defining accountability, and ensuring teams can move quickly without compromising trust or control.
CDAO Washington D.C. will bring together senior executives and practitioners responsible for driving data and AI transformation to discuss what is working, what is slowing progress, and how organizations are adapting to a rapidly changing landscape.

The event will move beyond high-level conversations around AI adoption and focus on the decisions leaders are making inside their organizations today, including:
- How the CDAO role is evolving as AI becomes embedded into business operations • Where ownership sits across data, AI models, decisions, and risk
- Why capable teams and strong technology investments can still struggle to deliver impact
- How organizations are improving data quality, trust, and accessibility
- What leaders are scaling, stopping, and prioritizing as investment decisions become more focused
- How enterprises are balancing innovation with governance, privacy, and accountability
Designed around peer exchange and practical discussion, the event will feature interactive formats including confession circles, expert Ask Me Anything sessions, live polling, and roundtable discussions. These sessions will allow leaders to openly explore challenges, lessons learned, and approaches that are working across complex organizations.
The event will feature senior leaders from organizations including Santander, TE Connectivity, Pfizer, Citi, Capital One, Visa, Philips, PayPal, Verizon, Freddie Mac, Heineken, Guardian Life, Munich Re, The Hartford, and others.
“Organizations have moved beyond asking whether data and AI will transform the enterprise. The focus now is on execution, how leaders build the right foundations, governance, and capabilities to deliver meaningful outcomes,” said Monika Dincheva, Conference Producer. “CDAO Washington D.C. is designed to create honest conversations around the decisions, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of enterprise data and AI.”
Key themes throughout the day will include AI governance, responsible adoption, data quality, enterprise accountability, talent strategy, operating challenges, and the changing expectations placed on data leaders.
CDAO Washington D.C. will take place on September 23, 2026, in Washington D.C.
