What constitutes “meaningful” AI adoption? How can treating data as a product help leadership stay focused on delivering value? These are some of the questions our Data leaders will be asking at CDO & AI Summit in Munich and Benelux this November.

This fall, Simon Case (SVP of AI and Data) and Lewis Crawford (Data & AI Service Lead) of Equal Experts will bring their AI and data expertise to the stage at CDO & AI Summit in Munich and the Netherlands, hosted by CDM Media. As businesses across industries invest in AI-driven transformation, their insights will offer a practical guide to addressing the common challenges of implementation, data governance, and achieving genuine value.

Simon Case on Overcoming Data Hurdles (Munich)

At the CDO & AI Summit in Munich, Simon Case will lead the talk How Leading Data Teams Are Overcoming AI and Data Hurdles. Simon, who partners with top organisations globally, will share firsthand insights into the shift toward a “data product” mindset—an approach where data is treated as a valuable product. He will discuss real-world applications of GenAI and outline strategies for tackling persistent issues like data governance to help data teams drive tangible results.

Lewis Crawford on GenAI’s Real Value (Netherlands)

At the CDO & AI Summit in the Netherlands, Lewis Crawford will present GenAI Can Generate Anything—But Value? In this session, Lewis will encourage leaders to look beyond the GenAI hype and examine if their initiatives genuinely drive business value. He’ll explore the risks of remaining in “pilot mode” and offer practical metrics to assess GenAI’s effectiveness, emphasising strategies for moving beyond experimentation to achieve measurable outcomes.
