How do you master the data revolution? By taking it one step at a time.

For data to be meaningful, it needs to be easy to find and easy to understand. And that makes it easy to trust. But balancing data innovation with data discipline isn’t always simple.

Join us for Data Citizens ’17 to learn how data governance can help your organization transform its data assets into data insights.

The Collibra Data Citizens conference is fast becoming the go-to event for data leaders, data users, data analysts, data stewards, and data scientists who believe good data governance can help us do more with our data.

Why attend?

  • Enjoy keynotes from experts in the psychology of data (Shankar Vedantam) and data privacy (Dennis Slattery).
  • Learn what today’s global experts are saying about how to make your data more valuable.
  • Hear how Collibra customers—and your fellow data citizens—are using data governance to spark innovation.
  • Network with peers, partners, data experts, and thought leaders who will help you discover just how simple that next step can be.
  • Earn certification in data governance and rock your next performance review.

 

Data Citizens unite! We invite all data citizens to join us at the Hyatt Regency on the Hudson on May 2-3, 2017.

Keynote Speaker: Shankar Vedantam

In his keynote presentation “Hidden Brain: Data & The Unconscious Mind,” Shankar Vedantam will explore the “psychology of data” – how the brain processes information, the effects of information overload on the way we think, and how managers can drive change within organizations to make data more relevant.

Shankar is NPR’s social science correspondent and the host of the Hidden Brain podcast. His goal is to help people think about the world in new and interesting ways. He is endlessly fascinated by empirical research in fields ranging from psychology and neuroscience to sociology and economics.

It sees the world from the consumer’s point of view and insists organizations manage risk from the perspective of the consumer.Read the Full Description
