DataVision Toronto 2024

Meet our hosts from Deloitte and the EDM Council team, and hear from John Bottega, President of EDM Council, with his perspectives on data management, AI and the opportunities for today's data leaders.

The purpose of the Keynote is to furnish Canadian entities with a comprehensive overview of the European Union (EU) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act. Noemi and Preeti will engage in a discussion pertaining to the regulatory environment surrounding AI, encompassing both cross-sector and sector-specific regulations. Furthermore, they will present a principle-based framework that prioritizes innovation and clarify how it applies to the regulation of AI systems under the EU AI Act. This framework will showcase different AI use cases and expound upon the key requirements and transparency obligations that must be adhered to.

In this era of increased focus on sustainability, businesses need to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria into their strategies effectively. Experts from various industries will discuss ESG data management challenges, opportunities, and innovations that contribute to a sustainable future. The discussion will also include key insights from the EDM Council's recently published "Playbook for Effective ESG and Sustainability Data Management," the latest report produced by the ESG Working Group.

In the current digital landscape, organizations recognize the immense potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to harness data-driven insights, drive innovation, and deliver cutting-edge solutions for clients. However, the question arises: are these investments underutilized due to the lack of a well-crafted and effective data management program? Industry experts from various sectors will share their experiences and insights on how their organizations have achieved significant business value and measurable return on AI investments (ROAI) supported by continuous investments in data management.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity to fight financial crimes. Legacy systems, models and data are not up to the task. Fraud, money laundering and cyber-attacks are top of mind for all businesses - nobody wants to be a victim. AI has the potential to significantly improve our collective ability to fight these criminals, but where do we start? This panel of Financial Crimes experts will discuss today's challenges, opportunities and investments required.

Organizations are embracing cloud computing services at an accelerated pace. The cloud offers unparalleled agility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, enabling businesses to innovate and compete in an increasingly digital world. However, harnessing the benefits of the cloud comes with inherent risks that organizations must navigate effectively. Our panel discussion aims to empower organizations with the knowledge and strategies necessary to leverage the cloud securely and mitigate third-party risks.

As the world continues adopting and expanding the use of GenAI, Analytics, and Cloud to support their mission-critical business priorities, it is time to modernize data management and governance. Hear Peter Ku from Informatica as he shares what modern data management and data governance look like, the measurable business value that can be realized, and what is required for success.
