By 2026, enterprise AI will move past pilots and experiments — it will be about delivering measurable business outcomes. Organizations will need to balance speed with trust, innovation with compliance, and automation with human oversight. The question is no longer if you should scale AI, but how fast and how effectively you can do it.

At the CDO Magazine Columbus Leadership Summit on November 5, 2025, you’ll hear directly from the executives leading this charge. At the Hyatt Regency – Columbus Downtown, the Super Keynote Panel: “Kickstart Your 2026 AI Agenda” will set the stage for what matters most in AI, analytics, and data leadership for the year ahead.

Why this Super Keynote is different

This panel goes beyond surface-level discussions. It will deliver actionable strategies for:

• Enterprise AI Strategy to drive growth and innovation
• Governance & Data Management for trusted decision-making
• Security & Risk in an AI-first world
• Talent Development to future-proof organizations
• Emerging Tech Trends that leaders must watch in 2026

It’s a practical roadmap from leaders who are already executing AI at scale.

The leaders you’ll hear from

This powerhouse conversation features executives at the forefront of enterprise AI transformation:

• Jasmine de Gaia, Wells Fargo Managing Director & Senior Vice President
• Ibrahim Itani, Marathon Petroleum Corporation Head of Analytics & Innovation
• Shannon Terry, Nationwide Chief Advanced Analytics Officer

From financial services to energy to insurance, these leaders represent industries where AI is no longer optional — it’s foundational.

Why you need to be in the room

Lisa Runkle, Global Event Manager at CDO Magazine, says it best: “The Super Keynote is where the biggest conversations of the year begin. If you’re a data or AI leader serious about setting the right agenda for 2026, this is the one session you cannot afford to miss.”

This is more than a panel — it’s the conversation that will define your AI agenda for the next year.
