AI Governance Working Group Meeting (April 29th)

Hear from experts at our next AI Governance Working Group Meeting April 29th.

AI is transforming every industry — but who’s defining the rules? The EDM Association’s AI Governance Working Group is bringing together practitioners, thought leaders, and innovators to create the definitive framework for governing AI responsibly. This isn’t about adding bureaucracy — it’s about enabling organisations to adopt AI with confidence, balancing innovation with accountability. Whether you’re grappling with the EU AI Act, trying to integrate AI governance with your existing data management practices, or simply asking “where do we even start?” … this is where those answers are being built.

Join us bi-weekly as we work through operating models, implementation playbooks, maturity models, and real-world case studies. Your voice, your challenges, your expertise—they belong in this conversation.

African Forum Meeting (April 28th)

Hear from experts at our next African Forum Meeting on April 28th

In partnership with Modelware

AI is rapidly reshaping financial services—but trust, talent, and governance have not kept pace.

This executive‑level panel brings together leaders from financial services, regulation, academia, and technology to confront one of the sector’s most pressing challenges: how to deploy AI at scale while protecting trust, managing risk, and building sustainable internal capability.

Using Africa as a powerful lens—with global relevance—the discussion will explore why AI failures are rarely technical, and more often rooted in talent shortages, opaque decision‑making, weak governance, and over‑reliance on external vendors. Panelists will examine real‑world use cases across banking and insurance, including credit, fraud, underwriting, and claims, and unpack what regulators, boards, and customers increasingly expect from AI‑driven decisions.

Attendees will gain clear insight into:

  • How to move from AI experimentation to board‑governed, regulator‑ready capability
  • Why talent and ethics are now core risk controls, not soft issues
  • How AI can expand financial inclusion without creating new forms of exclusion
  • What boards and executives must decide in the next 12–24 months to remain competitive and trusted

This is not a technology discussion—it is a leadership conversation about the future of trust, value, and sovereignty in financial services.

WDP EMEA Coffee Chat | Authentic Leadership

Hear from experts at our next WDP EMEA Coffee Chat | Authentic Leadership May 28th.

Join us for the next event in our series of  “Coffee, Insights and Real Conversations” hosted by Women Data Professionals – Europe Chapter.

Our next topic is “Authentic Leadership”. All of the virtual meet-ups will be a relaxed, high-quality conversation over coffee with women across data, tech, and business. Bring your questions, your stories, and what you’re currently navigating.

Authentic leadership has become a buzzword. And whenever that happens, the actual meaning gets diluted until it means almost nothing.

This session is designed to unpack the term properly.

We start with an uncomfortable question: is authenticity always a good thing? Think about Bin Laden, Angela Merkel, Elon Musk, Indra Nooyi. You could argue they are all authentic. That should make you pause.

Being true to yourself is not the same as being a good leader. Authentic leadership goes further. It requires self-awareness, transparency, and balanced decision-making that holds both business targets and human needs in the same frame.

We will cover what authentic leadership actually means and why the buzzword version falls short, the four elements that separate it from plain authenticity, and how to create clarity and anchor your people in values when the world is pulling in every direction.

This session is open to everyone. Whether you lead a team of two or an organisation of thousands, or you are simply curious about what good leadership actually looks like, you are welcome.

We are looking forward to meeting and learning from many fellow women in our community.

Digital Twin Consortium Aerospace & Defense Town Hall Meeting

Join us for this full-day, two-part, Aerospace & Defense town hall meeting, hosted by the Digital Twin Consortium on April 15-16, 2026. Please be sure to register for both parts in order to participate in the both days of discussion and collaboration.

Register for Part One

Register for Part Two

Today, we stand at the frontier of a transformative era in defense acquisition, AI-enabled decision advantage, and full-spectrum mission readiness for the warfighter. We are challenged to rethink how we design, integrate, and sustain our critical systems by embracing digital twins as the authoritative source of truth. Digital engineering and digital twins are no longer a future consideration; they are a current mandate.

Join leading aerospace and defense organizations, technology providers, and research institutions for a comprehensive exploration of how digital twins are transforming our industry. This two-day virtual event brings together senior executives, engineering leaders, program managers, and technical specialists to share insights, best practices, and future roadmaps for digital twin implementation across defense and aerospace programs.

This Town Hall Meeting is your invitation to:

  • Breaks down barriers—technical, cultural, and policy-driven—and leads bold collaboration across government, industry, and academia.
  • Demonstrates how to drive the future of digital engineering: advance interoperability, accelerate innovation, and shape policies to deliver mission-ready solutions.
  • Turns the promise of DoDI 5000.97 and JADC2 into a reality that strengthens our defense capabilities for decades to come.

BCBS 239 in Focus: Increasing Regulatory Scrutiny and Tangible Steps to Comply

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how intensifying regulatory scrutiny is accelerating the need for robust risk data aggregation and reporting.

More than a decade after its introduction, BCBS 239 remains a challenge for many institutions—but expectations are now clearer and enforcement is increasingly tangible. Supervisors, particularly in Europe, are moving beyond guidance toward active oversight and accountability.

Learn how data management best practices, anchored in DCAM, can help banks evidence compliance, address critical gaps, and align with evolving supervisory standards.

Through a combination of regulatory insights and real-world banking experience, you’ll gain a clearer roadmap to strengthen your data strategy and meet growing regulatory demands with confidence.

Artificial Intelligence Forum Meeting (June 16th)

Hear from experts at our next Artificial Intelligence Forum Meeting June 16th.

Forum Mission and Alignment

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Forum is a monthly, member-led forum bringing together experienced leaders from across the EDM Council membership to collaborate, exchange insights, and shape best practice for responsible AI.

The Forum provides a trusted space for senior practitioners to explore both the opportunities and challenges of generative AI, with a strong emphasis on the data and analytics foundations that enable AI at scale—data quality, governance, controls, transparency, and accountability. Discussions are practical and experience-driven, focused on real-world implementation rather than theory.

Aligned with the EDM Council’s mission, the AI Forum draws directly on the DCAM™ and CDMC™ frameworks to identify and advance the data management practices required for high-quality, ethical, and well-governed AI. Outcomes from the Forum aim to inform recommendations, guidance, and shared deliverables that help members address ethical, legal, and regulatory expectations with confidence.

Why join?

To engage with peers at a similar level of experience, influence emerging standards and practices, and be part of a monthly forum shaping how trusted AI is delivered across industries.
