REQUEST AN INVITATION

The purpose of the Digital Trust Summit is to bring together CEOs and Board members to engage in a thorough discussion of ways of shaping digital culture to create true data leadership – thereby driving value and, importantly, reducing exposures to loss.

At the Summit, CEO and Board member participants will explore ways in which they can set the intention to innovate through a culture of data ethics. This framework will allow leaders to anticipate, address and implement a culture that enhances responsible data stewardship.

The first Digital Trust Summit was held in March 2023. Guests praised the event as unique and containing “Davos-plus” content on generative AI and data leadership.

Why CEOs and Board Members Need This Summit?

Data is your company’s most important asset. Unlike other assets, however, data does not appear as an express line item on a balance sheet. Good will does. Digital innovation is on the rise. Generative AI and other emerging technologies are fueling this innovation.

Trust is key for innovative technologies to thrive. Trusted companies are 400% more successful than those that are not.

Generative AI continues to take the business world by storm. AI has achieved great things like early detection of pancreatic cancer. If it is trusted it can contribute up to 15.7 trillion to our global economy by 2030. It has also led to mishaps like AI misidentifying paying customers as shoplifters, recommending the wrong cancer medication to people and chatbots cursing at customers.

While the promise of trusted data is high, trust in technology is at an all time low. At 2024 Davos, AI risks were identified in the top 10 for respondents to the World Economic Forum’s annual risk survey. The EU has adopted an AI Act and Colorado has as well. There are now 100 countries in six continents with regulatory frameworks.

Companies investing aggressively in their digital strategies have created value for their shareholders. Companies that have placed responsible data stewardship at the center of their strategy are successful. Some of those exceeding 3 trillion in market cap have been the earliest adopters of data-forward leadership.

This conference brings together CEOs, board members and governmental leaders to discuss solutions for effective data.
