About the SUMMIT

Data 2030 Summit is an annual strategy event gathering the Data Management community in one place and platform to discuss ways of enabling faster Data Innovation and AI deployment across the enterprise by setting up a modern Data Management strategy and platform for the new decade.

For the past seven years Data 2030 Summit has served as a remarkable knowledge-sharing and networking platform for data practitioners in the Nordics, Europe and Middle East.

This fourth annual 2024 Onsite edition of the event goes beyond these regions and extends its reach to the APAC Region as well.

With 40+ international speakers presenting across the three stages, panel discussions and plenty of other learning and networking activities, the 2024 onsite APAC 4th edition of the summit is the place to be for all CDOs and data practitioners working with Information Management, Data Governance, Master Data Management, Data Quality, Enterprise Architecture and DataOps.

On stage, we are bringing some of the most forward-thinking Data Management practitioners of different positions and responsibilities in the department, from both the private and public sector in the Asia and Pacific region, covering not only the most business critical Data Management challenges but as well the latest methodologies, strategies and tools used by organizations to address those challenges. The program is divided into three stages, focusing on a specific topic.

Summit Features

Limited

Same as on the European and Middle East Edition, to maintain the networking and knowledge-sharing experience, the summit is limited to a maximum of 150 participants. Speakers and exhibitors are carefully prequalified and selected to match the current regional market challenges, and provide outstanding content and insights relevant to the participants attending. The event has been sold out way in advance, in every one of the the past 5 editions.

Plenum

The keynote presentations are the pillars of the entire conference and the most memorable presentations of the event. As opening plenary talks, they set the tone of the entire conference, tie all themes together and provide excitement on the presentations that are about to come. This year’s keynote list includes visionaries and leading expert names in Data Management.

Three Key stages

On this edition, delegates will have the opportunity to choose between three super insightful and interactive tracks focusing on Modern Data Strategy, Modern Data Platform and Modern Data Architecture. All sessions are 30 minutes and held in English.

Topic Related Round Table Discussions

Along the presentations, we have reserved time for interactive roundtables. This is a good time for your voice to be heard, to share your ideas and your challenges, or to simply benchmark your strategy with your peers. The duration of the roundtables is 40 minutes and in English. After the first 40 minutes roundtable session, delegates will rotate and take their seat on another roundtable for another 45 minute session.

Interactive Panel Discussion

The delegates will have the opportunity to take part of interactive panel discussion composed by practitioners and experts. The panels will cover several important topics covering everything from strategy to people, processes, and technology. The panellists invited are experts and practitioners in the area representing companies in the APAC region and beyond. The duration of the panel discussion is 40 minutes and in English.

Networking Program

In addition to extending the on-site part of the conference to three stages, we bring the event participants closer together through an informal event format. Once the conference day is finished, we are inviting the delegates to a networking program, starting with a cocktail reception.

Technology in Practice (TIP) Sessions

At this year’s summit we are bringing some of the leading technology and service providers in the area, some of them presenting their tools and services for the first time on the APAC market. To make it more transparent and relevant for you, the demos presented during the summit will be listed as sessions in the agenda and on the event webpage.

Need-to-know and Up-to-date Topics

The agenda is carefully designed to match the delegate community challenges and needs. Based on the last year’s feedback and our pre-event research, we have constructed the agenda that emulates the current market maturity, current project objectives, as well the aspiration for future technology insight.
