Day 2: Regulatory and Workforce Trends Impacting Data Today and Tomorrow

9:25 AM Panel Discussion | Executing Your Data Governance Framework Across the Enterprise

The volume of data consumed and manipulated by financial institutions every day is increasing. As a result, instituting a proper data governance framework for which organizations can function within will be key to reducing risk, driving innovation, enabling the business and managing costs. This is not done by the snap of a finger and setting up strategies, teams, and processes to establish a data governance framework will require collaboration and buy in from senior level leadership across all departments. Join us as we look into some of the ways that data governance leaders can establish a functioning framework for their enterprise and drive:


  • Data literacy and user enablement across all levels.
  • Transparency for data collection, lineage, and auditability.
  • Risk minimization and ensuring compliance in a seamless and streamlined manner. 

12:15 PM Fireside Chat | Why Diversity Matters: How DE&I Is Helping Teams Thrive

We’ve known for years the benefits of building diversity into the workforce. From improved worker retention to demonstratable increases in revenue, diversity holds the key to success. The future of DE&I is also an evolving one. One of the major shifts is around improving inclusivity in teams and across the enterprise. Join us for a discussion that looks at how leaders can create an atmosphere of inclusivity in their teams and the benefits of:


  • Creating an environment of belonging and why this helps bring out the best in each employee.
  • Mental health awareness and different ways to approach neurodiversity within teams.
  • Improving team dynamics for hybrid and remote workers.
