Presented by Strategy Institute
Strategy Institute's two-day Big Data & Analytics West Summit brings enterprise data, analytics, and AI leaders from across Western Canada together at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver. The programme runs keynotes, C-suite panels, and technical case studies on operationalising AI, modernising data foundations, and turning real-time data into business decisions, with speakers drawn from financial services, healthcare, retail, government, energy, and technology. It runs in a hybrid format, so you can attend in person or online.
Anu's Take
A summit about clean, trustworthy data whose own website still lists two different Vancouver hotels for the venue. Their own logo still brands this as the sixth annual, so I modified the image on this card to remove that, and will leave it until they update theirs to reflect that this is the seventh. I say all of it with some sympathy, though: getting your own facts to line up is the whole job, and it is harder than any keynote about it will admit.

Everything on this agenda eventually runs into the same wall: the technology works, and the value stalls on adoption. I wrote about building an AI adoption plan your team will actually follow.
