DATA VALUE ACCELERATED:
NAVIGATING COMPLEX REGULATIONS
IN THE TECH-DRIVEN ERA

Due to its highly regulated nature, the BFSI sector tends to use a defence-oriented approach to data strategy, but the past few years have seen an intense race for innovation that shifted the focus to creating value through offense-oriented initiatives.

Pragmatic, scalable, and continuous innovation that enables you to understand and predict market performance and behaviour and react to changes in real-time, is becoming the golden standard of using data to add value, create competitive advantage and guarantee budget signoff. Organisations that fail to invest risk falling behind, striking a balance between compliance and innovation is crucial.

Whatever the stage of your organisational data maturity, this year’s CDO BFSI Exchange is the perfect place to network with your peers
and learn more about the evolution of the data landscape.

AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS

Interactive Lightning

Debates

The debates encourage quick thinking, concise expression, and active engagement. They are intellectual sprints, challenging you to articulate viewpoints on controversial issues effectively within tight time constraints. Vote with your feet, choose a side and defend your

point of view.

One-To-One Business Meetings

Our trademark, consultative business meetings offer you the chance to connect with a selection of tried & tested, best-in-breed providers, who have come recommended to us by our audience. Select who you want to meet before you join on-site, and upon arrival you will receive a personalised itinerary detailing who you’re due to meet with, and when.

Roundtable Discussions

These collaborative group discussions connect you with peers facing similar challenges to you through in-depth conversations. Select which session you’d like to join and get involved in the conversation as you share your own perspective on today’s big data questions.

Presentations & Case Studies

Hear from subject matter experts as they share insights into legislative updates, transformational in-house projects, and industry best practices.

Think Tanks

These closed-door sessions are first-come, first-serve, by advance selection only. Attendees will have an opportunity to select which Think Tanks they’d like to attend before joining on-site. No large groups, no stages – Just an in-depth, group conversation with an intimate selection of your peers.

Panel Discussions
