Where data governance and AI governance come together as one operating discipline, led by the practitioners already doing both.
You spend most of the year navigating data and AI governance challenges in relative isolation. Your organization’s problems feel unique even when they’re not, and the guidance you find online never quite tells you what to do on Monday morning. DGIQ + AIGov 2026 brings together the practitioners solving the same problems you are, so you can stop guessing and start learning from people who have already done the work and are willing to share what they learned.
Back for a second year, DGIQ + AIGov makes its New England debut this November in Providence, Rhode Island, the East Coast home of data and AI governance. The Data Governance & Information Quality Conference (DGIQ) and the AI Governance Conference (AIGov) are co-located under one registration because data governance and AI governance are no longer two conversations. They are the same accountability problem, and the data governance work this community has done for years is the foundation that makes trustworthy AI possible in the first place. The program is highly selective, accepting only one in five proposals, so every session across both programs earns its place on the agenda.
Across four focused days, you will learn from people doing this work at real scale, including practitioners from Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intermountain Health, Vanguard, and dozens of other enterprises. With on-site CDMP and ADGP certification exams, you can leave the Omni Providence Hotel with a credential as well as a plan: practical strategies you can act on, not just ideas to file away.
Don’t spend another year guessing. Register now.
