Navigate the data and AI landscape by joining us at the Microsoft Data and Analytics Forum
The future of AI is here. From easy-to-use copilot experiences that come out-of-the-box to custom generative AI solutions made in Azure AI Studio, every organization is exploring how they can take advantage of AI. And most believe they will be successful—with 87% of organizations believing AI will give them a competitive edge1.
But as you prepare for a future built on AI, you also need clean data to fuel AI. Fostering game-changing AI innovation requires a well-orchestrated data estate that can support everything from small AI pet-projects to scalable AI solutions that span the company. This is a challenging prospect for most organizations whose data environments have grown organically over time with specialized and fragmented solutions. A complex data estate leads to data sprawl and duplication, infrastructure inefficiencies, limited interoperability, and even data exposure risks—not an ideal place to start your AI innovation.
For data leaders trying to streamline and advance their data estate, the burden is often on you to search through the thousands of data and AI offerings, find the right set of offerings, figure out how to integrate them, and do it in such a way that is scalable and can evolve over time. Most data leaders would rather focus on the outcomes of their tools rather than spend all their time integrating specialized solutions and maintaining their data estate.
If you are thinking about how you can prepare your data estate for the era of AI, or will soon, I invite you to join us for the Microsoft Data and Analytics Forum on October 30th, 2024. The event is online only and free to attend.
A digital event designed for data leaders
Microsoft Data and Analytics Forum
Learn how you can prepare your data and analytics for game-changing AI innovations.
The Data and Analytics Forum is an upcoming, digital event designed to help data leaders navigate the current data and AI landscape. Microsoft experts will walk you through the latest trends and industry best practices to help you stay ahead of the curve. You will also hear learnings from current data leaders who have successfully implemented an AI-ready data strategy. Finally, we will highlight how the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform, a suite of analytics, database, AI, and governance technologies, can help you create a powerful, agile, and secure data and AI foundation, made simple.
The first half of the event will include a keynote session on the current data and AI landscape, followed by your choice of three breakout sessions. Here are the full list of sessions:
- Data and Analytics Forum keynote: Jessica Hawk, Corporate Vice President of Data, AI, and Digital Applications, will cover the current data landscape now with AI, how the Microsoft Intelligence Platform can help organizations transform their data estate, and, through a fireside chat with customers, how companies have been able to prepare their data estate to take advantage of AI.
- A data foundation that unlocks AI innovation: Emerson Gatchalian, Chief Data and Analytics Officer Americas, will zoom out to study the concepts and conditions at the root of today’s data and analytics stack, from what’s driving investment to the issues companies face in siloed data. Then he’ll show how the right data foundation can meet this AI moment.
- Fuel your data culture with generative AI: In my session, we’ll explore both the challenges and opportunities that data leaders face in building a data-driven culture and how modern tools and next generation AI can help accelerate your path.
- Data governance in the era of AI: Karthik Ravindran, General Manager of Enterprise Data and AI Governance will cover governance and its importance in an AI world, the influence of data on AI, and the opportunities and the quality challenges of generative AI. Governance practices will be covered, leading to an overview of Microsoft Purview.
