CDAO Melbourne is where data and AI leaders turn strategy into measurable impact.
As organisations push to operationalise AI, many are slowed by fragmented data, weak governance, and unclear ROI. The agenda tackles this through real-world case studies, practical examples, and lessons from organisations scaling Agentic AI, enterprise adoption, and trusted data foundations.
Through peer-led discussions, attendees gain a clear view of what’s working, what’s not, and how to make smarter data decisions faster.
Co-located with our Data & AI Architecture and Enterprise AI events, this is your opportunity to connect with Australia’s leading data and AI organisations and leave with insights that work.
Three events. Two days. One place to be.
