The 2nd CDOIQ South Africa Symposium
8-10 September 2025 – The Gordon Institute of Business Science

The CDOIQ Africa Symposium is where Africa’s top data leaders connect, learn, and lead. Built for Chief Data Officers, Chief Analytics Officers, and Heads of Data and Analytics, the event delivers practical strategies and global insights you can use right away.

In partnership with the University of Pretoria and inspired by MIT’s CDOIQ Symposium, this platform brings world-class thinking to local challenges. Backed by Platinum and Gold sponsors, it’s a space for bold ideas, practical solutions, and peer exchange.

You’ll access proven frameworks, case studies, and tools to align data strategy with business goals. Whether it’s governance, data products, or AI integration—you’ll walk away with actions you can apply immediately.

The symposium also gives you the chance to benchmark against industry leaders and learn what works in real organisations. The focus is sharp, the content relevant, and the conversations honest.
