Bringing data to the centre of business strategy

From AI disruption to governance at scale, or from unlocking business value to solving the national talent challenge—this is where ideas spark action.

Data leaders in the Philippines face a unique mandate: modernize fragmented systems, build trust in analytics, and deliver business impact across complex, and often siloed enterprises.

CDAO Philippines 2026 is where the country’s most ambitious data and analytics leaders converge to shape the future of enterprise data. Are you ready to break silos, fix governance gaps, and deliver real business impact?

FEATURED SPEAKER

As organisations accelerate AI adoption, trust has emerged as the defining factor between successful scale and stalled initiatives. This session explores why trustworthy AI is becoming both a critical business challenge and a competitive differentiator, examining how leading organisations are embedding governance, transparency, accountability, and risk management into their AI strategies. Learn how frameworks such as ISO/IEC 42001 can help transform AI governance from a compliance requirement into a catalyst for innovation, confidence, and long-term business value.
