| 11:10 AM – 11:50 AM | Business & Leadership: What Your Leaders Want to Hear About Data | Arms attendees with the framing and language to justify MDM investment internally. Opens outside-in with the CEO/board agenda before connecting to data outcomes. Practical frameworks and peer perspectives on what actually moved the needle. Anchor with external voice — network-connected, low-cost, credible with the audience. |
| 11:10 AM – 11:50 AM | Data & Architecture: Intelligent Data Products for Your AI Success | This technical session shows how to turn fragmented, conflicting source data into a single trusted foundation — mastered data, symantic intelligence, explainability, and instructions — with the ownership and quality that later stages depend on. The groundwork that separates AI ambitions from AI results. |
| 11:10 AM – 11:50 AM | Practioner: Moving to SDP: Lessons for Success | Peer-led format: customers who’ve made or are making the xDM to SDP move share honest experiences. Topics: transition sequencing, stakeholder management, handling legacy models, what ‘done’ looks like. Frame as aligning data architecture to business strategy, not a platform upgrade. |
| 11:10 AM – 11:50 AM | Data & Architecture: Governed Data Products on Snowflake | How the Semarchy Snowflake Native and Connected Apps bring governed data products directly into Snowflake — no separate deployment, no data leaving the account. Includes a live look at the Native App and a customer example. . |

| 11:10 AM – 11:50 AM | Apgar: Lessons Learned from Early Semarchy Data Platform Adopters | As organisations begin their journey toward Semarchy Data Platform, many are facing similar questions around migration, governance, architecture, and operational readiness. Based on our involvement in some of the earliest SDP initiatives and xDM migrations, we will share practical insights, key decisions, and lessons learned from real-world projects. Beyond technology, we will explore how operating models, managed services, and data governance practices are evolving to support the growing demands of AI and enterprise-wide data management. A pragmatic session for organisations looking to move from strategy to execution. |
| 11:50 AM – 12:20 PM | Agile Solutions: Outcome driven MDM : Delivering your most important truths | Most MDM programmes stall not because the technology is wrong, but because the scope is too big, the timeline is too long, and value takes too long to show up. The challenge isn’t simply having more data; it’s having data that is trusted, governed, connected and usable in the right context and getting there without a multi-year transformation hanging over your head. The team from Agile will share a realistic view of what it takes to get data from its current state to a place where it’s genuinely delivering value, and why organisations should focus on making the right data good enough for the right use case, rather than trying to perfect everything at once. MDM success isn’t a destination. It’s a series of practical, prioritised sprints that can start delivering value today. |
| 11:50 AM – 12:20 PM | Valcon: The Thing Nobody Said about MDM | Every organisation has an MDM strategy, but many face the same challenges: unclear ownership, poor data quality, competing definitions and difficulty proving business value. In this interactive workshop, Valcon will lead a practical session from real-world MDM delivery before participants use MDM barrier cards to identify common obstacles and discuss how to overcome them. Attendees will leave with practical ideas and fresh perspectives from peers. |
| 12:20 PM – 1:45 PM | Lunch & Networking |

Bring your hardest questions; this is a discussion, not a pitch. |
| 3:15 PM – 3:55 PM | Data & Architecture: Data Products in Practice, Consumed by Teams, Agents, and Applications at Scale | Review of 2-3 customer stories from the same vertical, challenge → action → result. Uses accelerator content and PE pain point work already developed. Showcase how those can be consumed by team, app, and agents at scale. |
| 3:15 PM – 3:55 PM | Practioner: Build a Data Product in Under 20 Minutes with DataOps & AI. | Starting from mastered data, we’ll design, build, and publish a reusable data product live, in under twenty minutes — ready for teams, applications, and agents to consume. The fastest way to see how far the platform closes the gap between raw data and real use. |
| 3:15 PM – 3:55 PM | Advisory: Design your POV to deliver your first data product | You’ve seen what the platform can do — now let’s prove it on your data. This facilitated clinic helps late-stage teams scope a proof of value for their own environment: success criteria, the data you’d bring, timeline, effort, and stakeholders. You leave with a concrete POV plan, not another demo. |
