DataCon Africa 2020 | Corinium Global Intelligence | 11 March 2020 | Cape Town International Convention Centre, Convention Square, 1 Lower Long Street, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa

DataCon Africa, first established as a spin-off event of CDAO (Chief Data & Analytics Officer), brings together international and local industry experts from various industries discuss challenges within data governance such as data remediation, enrichment, breaking down the silos, data security and more. Culture Change and Change Management has become of the utmost importance as organisations are looking to become data-driven before they are left behind and DataCon Africa will host workshops on these subjects. Data Science & applying AI & ML are ever-present hot topics of discussion and the 2019 edition of DataCon showcased several industry leaders who shared their experiences, and lessons learned, on how they applied data science to real business cases.
