Discover why the CDO Magazine Summits in Cincinnati and Southern California are must-attend events for data leaders shaping the future of AI and business.
To Our Community of Data Leaders and Learners,
With everything happening in the market right now, the rapid rise of generative AI, growing security concerns, and the impact of global tensions, it’s never been more critical for data leaders to come together. That’s why the upcoming CDO Magazine Summits in Cincinnati and Southern California matter so much.

These gatherings aren’t just another set of conferences. They’re built on the power of community. What sets them apart is the care we take to foster deep relationships, not only among data leaders in North America, but also across a global network of peers. The conversations that emerge go beyond technology trends. They focus on people.
At Data Society Group, we sit at the intersection of people, data, and AI. And that belief shows up across everything we do. Our presence at these events, through Data Society, The Data Lodge, and CDO Magazine, reflects our commitment to equipping people with the skills, culture, and connections they need to put technology to work.
What excites me most is the shift in focus you’ll hear throughout the sessions. Instead of focusing solely on the tools or platforms, we’ll be discussing how people adapt, grow, and lead in this new environment. That’s where the real impact is made.
If there’s one takeaway I hope every attendee carries home from these events, it’s this: invest in the people in your organization who can do the most with the technology.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Cincinnati and Santa Monica. These summits are about expanding the community, supporting one another, and making sure we’re not navigating these changes alone.
See you soon,
Doug Llewellyn
CEO, Data Society Group
