Chief Data, Analytics Officers & Influencers, Government

CDAOI Government is the longest running event designed for U.S. Government Chief Data Officer (CDO) and Chief Analytics Officer (CAO) roles. This forum is led by CDOs and CAOs but is open to all IT, Data and Analytics Leaders from public agencies, to allow you to meet and network with the very best of your peers from a range of organizations and experiences.

“Moving from why, into how”

This year’s event focus will be centered around moving from content regarding why into topics answering how. From speaking with experts in these positions from Federal, State and Local Government agencies and organizations, we know you understand why, more now than ever being data-minded is crucial, however, one thing that remains unanswered: how!

CDAOI, Government 2019 will answer your how questions!

How do we implement a CDO?
How do we get executive buy-in?
How do we ensure the CDO doesn’t fail?
How do we show ROI when sometimes there isn’t any?
