CDAO Fall 2026

CDAO Fall 2026 is Corinium Global Intelligence's end-of-year Chief Data & Analytics Officer conference, running 26-27 October 2026 at the Renaissance Boston Seaport District in Boston, Massachusetts. It is a two-day, 500-attendee executive gathering built around roughly 100 speakers drawn from enterprise and public-sector data functions rather than vendor keynotes. The 2026 programme is organised around four themes - the human side of data transformation, AI architecture and governance, turning data strategy into business reality, and the next era of AI leadership - and splits into a general leadership track and a dedicated financial services track, with discussion groups, panels and roundtables running alongside the mainstage across both days.

Two days in Boston buys a CDO or VP of data a peer-level read on what other enterprise data functions actually shipped in 2026 and what they are budgeting for 2027. Speakers come from Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, TE Connectivity, Travelers, The Cigna Group and the US Air Force, so the governance, data-quality and AI-investment sessions are grounded in operating experience rather than product roadmaps. The financial services track makes it unusually useful for regulated-industry buyers, and the $499 super-early-bird practitioner ticket makes the trip cheaper to justify than most analyst conferences.

• ✓Theme: The Human Side of Data Transformation - the cultural and talent challenges inside data functions
• ✓Theme: AI Architecture & Governance - designing modern data architectures and the oversight around them
• ✓Theme: Data Strategy to Business Reality - translating strategy into operational outcomes
• ✓Theme: The Next Era of AI Leadership - how evolving partnerships reshape enterprise AI strategy
• ✓Track A (Leadership) and Track B (Financial Services) run in parallel across both days
• ✓Opening Panel: 'The Data Leader's Dilemma: Governing What You Can't Fully Control'
• ✓Day 1 keynote from Ash Dhupar, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, on AI implementation
• ✓Day 2 keynote from Meghan Barrett Welch, Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, on developing future data leaders
• ✓Complimentary VIP passes for qualifying VP- and C-level end-user leaders

• ★End-user practitioners are the default speaker: the 2026 line-up is CDOs and heads of data from Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, TE Connectivity, Travelers and The Cigna Group, not vendor product marketing.
• ★Vendor attendance is priced and gated separately ($2,499 against $499 for practitioners), which keeps the seller-to-buyer ratio far lower than at a free vendor conference.
• ★A dedicated financial services track (Track B) runs the full two days alongside the general leadership track - unusual for a horizontal data conference.
• ★Deliberately small at around 500 attendees, so the discussion groups and roundtables are working sessions rather than overflow theatre.
• ★Corinium runs the CDAO series globally; the Boston edition is the US end-of-year checkpoint that feeds the following year's agenda.

Super early-bird pricing at the time of writing: $499 USD for the end-user ticket (data, analytics and AI practitioners at enterprise and public-sector organisations, covering keynotes, roundtables, panels, exhibition access, networking and catering) and $2,499 USD for the vendor ticket (solution providers, consultants, recruiters and technology vendors). Corinium does not publish the date the super early-bird rate expires. Complimentary VIP passes are offered to qualifying VP- and C-level end-user leaders on application to inquiries@coriniumgroup.com.
