Alissa Schneider, Executive Director, Enterprise Data & Insights at Sinclair Broadcast Group, will deliver an unconventional keynote titled “Data Truths: Brought to Life Through Song” at the CDO Magazine Dallas AI in the Enterprise Forum on August 27.

“Data and AI leaders hear constantly about what is changing, but some of the most important leadership principles remain timeless,” says Corey Maxner, Sr. Director, Community & Operations at CDO Magazine. “Alissa’s keynote will bring those lessons to life in a fresh, memorable, and practical way.”
