Overview
Open Data Infrastructure (ODI) is emerging as a strategic foundation for organizations navigating the AI era. As data platforms expand their scope and control, CDAOs must balance innovation with long-term flexibility, cost control, and architectural independence. By embracing open standards, separating storage from compute, and ensuring interoperability across the data lifecycle, ODI enables leaders to scale analytics and AI while preserving control over how data is accessed, governed, and evolved.
Join this boardroom to discuss:
Designing open, interoperable data architectures that prevent platform lock-in
Extending openness beyond storage into shared semantics, metadata, and governance
Enabling AI and operational workloads while maintaining adaptability and cost transparency

like-minded leaders in a relaxed but focused manner
conducive for you to establish powerful connections
to ensure your brand sustains its competitive advantage
