CDO Summit 2026. Leading Data in the Age of AI Agents
30 Data & AI leaders. One day. One evening. One goal.
A highly interactive, peer-to-peer summit in Champéry where Chief Data Officers work together on real challenges instead of listening to back-to-back presentations.
Theme: From today's biggest data challenges to the AI-native enterprise of 2030.
AGENDA
—SESSION 1 (MORNING): TODAY'S BIGGEST DATA CHALLENGES—
*Identify. Discuss. Solve*
Participants anonymously share their most pressing Data & AI challenges.
Together, the group identifies the Top 5 challenges facing Swiss organizations today.
Small peer groups then collaborate on each challenge, sharing experiences, practical solutions, and lessons learned.
Each group concludes with one actionable idea that participants can apply immediately.
—SESSION 2 (AFTERNOON): BUILD YOUR OWN DISRUPTOR (2030)—
*Think like the company that will replace yours*
Imagine you leave your company tomorrow to build a new AI-native competitor with unlimited resources.
What would you create?
Mixed teams design their "Company 2030":
- AI-first products and services
- Agent-native data architecture
- New operating models
- Processes that disappear
- Competitive advantages over today's incumbents
Each team presents its vision, followed by a peer vote for the most disruptive concept.
The workshop concludes with a final reflection:
"What should your organization start doing in the next 18 months to be ready for this future?"
Each participant leaves with one concrete commitment to bring back to their company.
—NETWORKING APERITIF & LIVE DJ SET—
*Continue the Conversations*
The discussions don't end when the workshops finish.
Join fellow CDOs and Data & AI leaders for a relaxed networking aperitif, followed by a live Lounge & Deep House DJ set in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
An informal setting designed to strengthen relationships, spark new ideas, and continue exchanging experiences with peers in a unique atmosphere.
Because some of the best conversations happen after the workshops.

Hatem Hamza
Migrating an on-premises data platform to GCP is much more than just a technical project. It involves a series of critical decisions, often made under pressure: lift and shift, or rewrite from scratch? How do you keep dashboards up and running during the transition? How do you manage two platforms side by side without burning out? Which GCP components should you invest in? And above all—how do you prevent the cloud bill from spiraling out of control?
Hatem will share the choices made, the mistakes avoided, and the trade-offs that make the difference between a successful migration and a project that gets bogged down.
