How to Bring Intelligence to Your Data Strategy
YOUR DIGITAL AGENDA
CWO and special guest hosts Rackspace Technology invite you to join us and 15 of your peers for a networking event like no other. RSVP now to build new business relationships, learn how to bring a new level of intelligence to your data modernisation strategy, and to sample a selection of complimentary wines introduced by one of just 419 Masters of Wine.
Today’s organisations are looking to do ever more with their data. They’re investing in new resources, skills, and technologies to bring a more holistic and predictable view of customers to life. And they’re relying on trusted data, modern and sustainable architecture, and next generation analytics to do it.
At this event, we’re going to show why now is the time for your company to take data seriously – and how to get started. You’ll have a chance to discuss your own experiences, build new connections, and learn how leading figures across the continent are creating and managing their data strategy to accelerate time to value. But above all, we’ll demonstrate how to bring intelligent execution to your data strategy.
And you’re in for more than compelling business insights and networking. We’ll also deliver a premium selection of wines to your doorstep ahead of the event, which you’ll enjoy under the guidance of a top wine expert on the night. The grand finale will be a peer-to-peer wine tasting competition, where you’ll challenge your peers to win the title of ‘Chief Wine Officer’ – the best taster in the room. We hope to see you there!
