Be sure to join us in Chicago this September for ACI’s CDAO Executive Think Tank, a critical Data, Analytics, AI and Data Science gathering that is the only comprehensive, practical event of its kind.

Unlike traditional conferences in the space, The speaking faculty is comprised entirely of thought-leading executives that have played key roles in developing some of the most successful and user-friendly Data Analytics programs in the world – from a multitude of different industry verticals.

  • No Mandatory Sales Pitches or Demos: Attendees will not be required to sit through mandatory business meetings to get their “FREE” admission – you will not be expected to sit through sales pitches or demos during breaks
  • Actual Networking Breaks: unlike all of the traditional expo-style conferences out there, guests at our Think Tank will actually be able to network with their peers during the networking breaks
  • Engage with True Thought-Leaders and Industry Peers: Benchmark and work with your true peers and engage with data scientists, data architects and analytics experts that are working across the data continuum – from structured data to nontraditional data sources
  • Actionable and Practical Learning and Sharing: This is a true learning and sharing environment – with hand-on sessions and real-life case studies; rather than “Death by Powerpoint” lectures that are all hype and have no measurable benefit to the audience
  • Deep Dive, “Hands-on” Sessions: The talking points and takeaways from every session at this Think Tank will allow you to develop a truly data-driven culture, and arm you with the instruments and steps needed to take your business to the next level
