This week I will be delivering the keynote speech at the IDQ Data Governance Conference in San Diego (funny how they never hold technology conferences in Detroit or Duluth). This promises to be an excellent event, with over 350 registered attendees, and plenty of movers and shakers in this emerging field. Data governance is the business-led strand that is beginning to bring together the hitherto curiously separate worlds of MDM and data quality, and it will be interesting to see what leading end-user companies are doing in this field.

In early June there is the annual Data Governance Conference:

which this year is in the attractive setting of San Diego (the place with perhaps the best climate in the USA). Naturally as a conference delegate you will be influenced solely by the agenda and the speaker quality rather than the prospect of a sunny location, but I just thought I’d mention it.

There will be some excellent speakers, and also me giving the keynote. As a reader of this blog I am happy to offer you a discount should you be able to attend. Just quote the following code when booking: IDDG100 – please be aware that this code expires on May 7th.
