Data Leaders 2026

Data professionals meet at the CCB in Lisbon, 8 September. Talks and a roundtable on AI, data quality at scale and governance.

Data Leaders 2026

One room. The people who run data.

Data Leaders 2026 brings heads of data, analytics and AI together at the CCB in Lisbon for a single morning of straight talk about what is actually happening in the field: what is working, what is breaking, and what is coming next.

Tuesday 8 September 2026 · 09:00 to 12:00 · CCB, Lisbon

Free to attend, limited places. Sponsored by SelectZero.

What we'll cover

• AI in production. What survives contact with real users, and what quietly gets rolled back.
• Data quality at scale. Moving past hand-written rules on thousands of tables.
• Governance that doesn't slow teams down. Controls that engineers accept instead of route around.
• The data leader role. How it is being redefined by AI, regulation and shrinking budgets.
