This experience includes:

Networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities with a group of CDAO to swap experiences, trade best practices and expand your executive peer community. 

Access to exclusive sessions throughout the conference, including Ask the Expert tailored to the most important topics for CDAOs. 

Priority booking capabilities for limited-capacity sessions and One-on-One Meeting(s) with a Gartner expert to ensure you don’t miss out on these conference offerings.

Integrated within the broader conference agenda, the CDAO Circle Program includes interactive discussions covering the top priorities of CDAOs, as well as casual networking opportunities to connect with other data and analytics leaders from a variety of regions and industries.
