CDO Vision New York 2026, the third installment of Analytics India Magazine’s (AIM) exclusive global series for senior data and AI leaders, is scheduled for January 30, 2026. Hosted at @Ease 605, Oasis Assembly, this invite-only leadership forum is designed to foster intimate and impactful discussions among more than 30 Chief Data Officers (CDOs), analytics heads, and technology leaders. The primary focus will be on transforming enterprises through responsible and scalable artificial intelligence.
The event aims to move beyond theoretical discussions, providing attendees with actionable insights and tested playbooks for immediate application. Key themes for discussion include enterprise AI adoption, ethical innovation, and strategies for cross-functional collaboration within organizations navigating the shift to AI-first operating models.
A distinguished lineup of leaders is expected to attend the 2026 edition, 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). These individuals will join an expanding alumni network from previous CDO Vision events, contributing to AIM’s growing CDO Vision Circle.
The agenda for the day-long summit is packed with insightful sessions. It will commence with a ‘Vision Talk,’ followed by a boardroom-style discussion where CEOs, CIOs, and CDOs will explore how leadership alignment is crucial for AI success. Panel discussions will cover critical topics such as ‘Transforming Industries with AI,’ showcasing enterprise success stories; ‘Agentic AI and the Future of Enterprise Growth,’ a forward-looking discussion on intelligent automation and adaptive systems; and ‘Building the AI-Native Organization,’ a collaborative roundtable focused on driving readiness, literacy, and culture across enterprises. The event will conclude with ‘The Vision Awards,’ which will honor influential CDOs and enterprise AI leaders who have demonstrated measurable business transformation in New York.
The significance of CDO Vision lies in its recognition of the evolving role of the CDO, which has expanded from mere data management to encompass broader business transformation. As companies adopt AI-first strategies, leaders are increasingly grappling with complex issues like data governance, AI ethics, and organization-wide AI literacy. The forum provides a vital platform for exchanging practical insights and benchmarking strategies against peers. Sponsors such as Tiger Analytics, Evalueserve, Quantiphi, Auxo AI, SG Analytics, and Datacamp will also contribute technological perspectives to complement the leadership strategies discussed.
