Data2Impact Night
Data is Everywhere. Impact is Not. Let’s Change That!
Digital, data, and AI initiatives often fall short of expectations.
Why? We’ve seen it time and again: organizations diving into advanced solutions without first securing strong data foundations.
The result? Unreliable data, fragmented systems, and growing mistrust in the numbers. What often begins as a promising initiative, full of energy and enthusiasm, gradually loses momentum as meaningful decisions and scalable innovation fail to materialize. That’s why solid Data Foundations aren’t just important, they’re essential.
At this edition of Data2Impact Night, we’re bringing together industry leaders, data innovators, and forward-thinkers to challenge assumptions, spark ideas, and explore how excellence in the fundamentals unlocks real business impact.
Oh, and did we mention? You’ll enjoy delicious food, cocktails, and an atmosphere designed for real connections.
