It's bright and early in Orlando, but I'm up and ready to "rope drop" (IYKYK) the first day of the 𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗡𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗔 & 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗬𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗦 𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗧!
I don't know about you, but my agenda is PACKED! Here are three sessions I have flagged for Day 1...
1️⃣ The Foundation of a Modern Data and Analytics Strategy with Andrew White at 11:00 am.
⮑ It's great that this session is being offered directly out of the gate because if you don't start with a well-defined #strategy, you'll have trouble making the most of your data and the opportunity at hand.
2️⃣ Data and Analytics Governance: Foundations and Future with Guido De Simoni at 2:45 pm.
⮑ Once you put your data train on the tracks, how do you keep it there? #Governance is critical, but current approaches are outdated and can't keep up with the rapid pace of change.
3️⃣ Meeting with Howard Dresner to close out the day.
⮑ Okay, this isn't a session, but Patrick Perrier and I look forward to chatting with people about what we're doing at Wiiisdom, helping folks eliminate errors in BI content and build trust in data and analytics. 🎉

Stop by and say hello if you see me walking the halls of the Swan or Dolphin! I love #GartnerDA because the sessions are rich with takeaways, sure—but it's also the #data reunion of the year! I already ran into Uday Hegde, Julian Sun, Samantha Nash, and Alex O'Connell! Who's next???
