SYMPOSIUM THEME: ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE IN DATA LEADERSHIP

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: For the past 18 years, the CDOIQ Symposium has been held in Cambridge, MA, USA, with the central mission of bridging the gap between research and practice by facilitating thought-provoking conversations and collaboration among data leaders globally.

The symposium will be co-organized with Nanyang Technological University, Nanyang Business School, and will take place in the NTU campus. The 3rd Annual CDOIQ-APAC Symposium includes plenary keynote speeches and two track themes that will focus on various data topics from Government, Academia and Industry. Each track includes, but not limited to, case studies, policies and strategies, prioritizations and alignment, and innovative research results. The themes are as follows:

Theme 1: Data Driven Innovation

Theme 2: AI and Digital Transformation

Riding on our past success: The CDOIQ-APAC symposium was a resounding success in May 2024, attracting 527 participants (21% C-Suite level) from 297 organizations across 29 industry sectors and 29 countries. This builds upon the long track record of CDOIQ in USA, which gathered some 2,700 data leaders in July 2024 from around the world. The majority of the attendees were CDOs, presidents, VPs, C-level officers, and directors who make critical decisions regarding how their organizations should collect, manage, and use data. attended the Symposium from around the world, the majority of the attendees were CDOs, presidents, VPs, C-level officers, and directors who make critical decisions regarding how their organizations should collect, manage, and use data.
