Mark your calendars -  On April 9, 2024, Secoda is hosting Data Leaders Forum (DLF), a one day, online conference for leaders and innovators in data governance. 

Data governance has a branding problem. It’s slow, bureaucratic, and frankly, can be rather painful. 

But in 2025, data governance is crucial. With AI transforming how we work with data and regulations evolving faster than ever, governance is moving from a compliance afterthought to a core business function.

At Data Leaders Forum on April 9, we’re showcasing how modern governance can be fast, scalable, modern, and actually help teams move forward. With 10 speakers who are data governance experts in their respective fields, we’ll share techniques, frameworks and tools that they are using to bring data governance into the future.

Why we’re hosting this event

Most governance tools create more problems than they solve—extra steps, manual approvals, disconnected policies. Teams waste time managing governance instead of using it.

At DLF you’ll learn how to:
✅ Make governance a competitive advantage: Hear real examples of how organizations are using modern governance keeps AI models accurate, reduces risk, and prevents costly mistakes.
✅ Cut through complexity: Learn practical ways to set up governance that scales without slowing your team down.
✅ Hear from top data leaders: Experts who are actively building governance strategies for high-growth, AI-driven teams at companies like ID.me, Brooklyn Data Co., Cyera, and more.
✅ Get a glimpse into the tools that can help you: We’re launching a new suite of data governance features in Secoda, and you’ll be the first to see them.
