The 3rd edition of CDO Vision New York returns on January 30, 2026, at @Ease 605, Oasis Assembly, marking another milestone in AIM’s exclusive global series for senior data and AI leaders. Designed as an invite-only leadership forum, the event brings together more than 30 Chief Data Officers, analytics heads, and technology leaders who are transforming enterprises with responsible, scalable AI.
Unlike large-format conferences, CDO Vision thrives on intimacy and impact. Attendees engage in close-knit discussions around enterprise AI adoption, ethical innovation, and cross-functional collaboration, leaving with actionable insights and frameworks they can apply immediately.
A Gathering of Visionaries
The 2026 edition welcomes leaders including Ashok Jakati (CTO, Quility Insurance), Anil Prasad (Duke Energy Corporation), Wendy Zhang (VP Data & AI, Hayward Holdings), Scott Newton (VP US Data & Analytics Office, HSBC), Ganesh Sivakumar (Global CDAO, Mead Johnson Nutrition), and Spriha G. (Senior Director of Data, Ophelia).
They join an impressive alumni network of past attendees such as Gabi Steele (Preq), Vikram Singh (Novartis), Arvind Balasundaram (Regeneron Pharmaceuticals), Ash Dhupar (Analog Devices), Michaela Wallin (C&A), and Elizabeth Barayuga (UPS) — all part of AIM’s growing CDO Vision Circle.
These leaders represent not only their organizations but the shared ambition to shape the next chapter of enterprise AI — one defined by responsibility, measurable impact, and innovation that scales.
Inside the Agenda
The day-long event opens with a Vision Talk, followed by a boardroom-style discussion where CEOs, CIOs, and CDOs unpack how leadership alignment defines AI success. Other highlights include panels on:
- Transforming Industries with AI – Enterprise success stories from those leading large-scale change.
- Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise Growth – A forward-looking discussion on intelligent automation and adaptive systems.
- Building the AI-Native Organization – A collaborative roundtable on driving readiness, literacy, and culture.
The day concludes with The Vision Awards, recognizing the most influential CDOs and enterprise AI leaders driving measurable business transformation in New York.
Why It Matters
The role of the CDO has evolved from data management to business transformation. As enterprises navigate the shift to AI-first operating models, leaders are rethinking data governance, AI ethics, and organization-wide literacy. CDO Vision gives these leaders a platform to exchange practical insights — not theory, but tested playbooks for impact.
Attendees gain exposure to new frameworks, benchmark strategies against peers, and explore responsible AI adoption in real enterprise environments. Sponsors like Tiger Analytics, Evalueserve, Quantiphi, Auxo AI, SG Analytics, and Datacamp bring technology perspectives that complement leadership strategy.
A Growing Global Movement
From New York to Dubai, Singapore to Zurich, the CDO Vision World Series is expanding across 22 cities in 2026 — uniting data and AI leaders in every major business hub. Each city brings local perspectives to a global dialogue, creating a continuous exchange of knowledge across industries and regions.
The New York chapter remains the flagship — where enterprise AI meets leadership vision, and where the best in data strategy set the tone for the year ahead.
