CDAO Community Executive Summit in Atlanta, November 2026

The CDAO Community Executive Summit brings together Chief Data & Analytics Officers from leading organizations across the Atlanta region. The program is built by and for C-level executives and centers on the challenges shaping modern data leadership: designing resilient data architecture, making trustworthy AI decisions, and weighing the buy-versus-build trade-off. Attendees rotate through boardrooms, breakout sessions, and peer-led discussions in a small-format community setting designed to foster candid exchange rather than keynote spectacle. The day is structured so participants leave with actionable insight from peers who face similar decisions. Because seating is limited, the event prioritizes senior data and analytics leaders who can contribute to peer discussion. It is part of the broader Gartner C-Level Communities calendar, which runs regional programs for CIOs, CISOs, CHROs, CFOs, CSCOs, and CDAOs. For those traveling in, the venue sits in the Cumberland/Galleria area northwest of downtown Atlanta, an easy drive from I-75 and I-285 with a dense cluster of hotels within walking distance of the summit.
