Data power is changing how we see the world. It offers business a critical opportunity to augment experience with solid evidence.

Despite masses of reporting, sales teams are often behind when it comes to data-powered decision-making. For those who bring data right into the heart of operations, deals are won faster and AI innovation leads the way.

Engage with cutting-edge thinking and meet leaders from data lead sales operations who are leaving bias behind.

Join our lively evening to discover your path to data enlightenment.
