HOW TO SOLVE YOUR DATA INTEGRATION PROBLEM
Abstract: Data integration requires solving several different problems (global schema construction, extract-transform-and-load, data cleaning, feature extraction, deduplication, golden record selection, classification, etc.) To solve these challenges, you need to bring a variety of tools to bear including traditional machine learning, deep learning, large language models (LLMs), rule systems, and conventional analysis techniques. In this talk I explain the best technology for a number of these problems and conclude that “one size does not fit all”. Hence, end-to-end data integration will require a tool kit of different techniques.
I also believe that the best data integration leverage is to build up pretrained models in the popular semantic areas (products, suppliers, customers, etc). This will allow you to get the best head start on most data integration challenges.

THE EVOLVING ROLES IN DATA AND TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP
Tom Davenport, Babson College
Sebastian Klapdor, Vista
Abstract: CDOs are only one of a growing collection of C-level tech executives in many organizations. A recent survey found that both customers and even the incumbents of these roles are often confused about who is doing what. Davenport, who conducted the survey, will describe the findings from it and executive interviews suggesting the emergence of "supertech leaders" who oversee multiple tech and data functions. Klapdor held one such role and will describe how it emerged and functioned at Vista.

GOVERNANCE FOR THE AGE OF AI
Karthik Ravindran, GM of Data Governance, Microsoft
Abstract: Your AI is only as good as your data and the ability of your people and your AI to responsibly discover and use your data. The quality of the data input also mirrors the final output of the model. With Data Governance, consumers developing AI can seamlessly discover secure quality data and organizations can ensure a healthy data estate. Organizations must govern not only the data inputs, but also govern the data generated from the models. With Microsoft Purview, model your data estate for your business, federate your Data Governance practice, and accelerate your responsible AI innovation with Governance. Watch video here!
