Chicago CDO Executive Summit 2017 | Evanta Comp. | 15 November 2017 | Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, 2233 South Martin Luther King Drive, Chicago, IL 60616

On behalf of the entire Governing Body, we are pleased to announce the Chicago CDO Executive Summit and are honored to join with you here for this special gathering.

Now, more than ever, enterprises are saturated with data. Over the last decade, the idea of data storage has evolved from gigabytes to exabytes — and the analysis of these data sets is incredibly complex. The challenge for this new era of information won’t be storing all the data, it will be figuring out how to make sense of it, and harnessing Big Data to drive business value will take leadership.

How well is your organization managing the data explosion and capitalizing on the opportunities it presents? To what extent are you extracting value from the data at your disposal? These questions necessitate a convergence of leaders with an interest in and a responsibility for their company’s data.

As a Governing Body we understand that there is ‘strength in numbers,’ and the challenges and opportunities faced by one organization are echoed across many. It is our mission to focus on the most pressing issues presented by Big Data in an environment managed by our peers.

Gathering together will provide us all the opportunity to share a truly unique experience that will leave us better equipped and more prepared as leaders on the forefront of Big Data.
