How it will work

SUMMIT MISSION

Unlike most data conferences that focus primarily on technical skills, our summit is designed to help data leaders become an exceptional, disruptive leader in the data industry. We address the real-world challenges of bridging technical expertise with business impact, offering practical strategies for:

  1. Developing a strategic mindset
  2. Enhancing leadership and communication skills
  3. Driving transformative change in your organization
  4. Nurturing the people in their data teams
  5. Integrating ethical AI practices

Our mission is to empower both data leaders and their teams, fostering inclusive growth and innovation. We’re committed to proactively spotlighting diverse voices through our carefully selected speaker lineup.

WHEN

The Disruptive Data Leadership Summit will run from May 5-7th, 2025. 

THE PRESENTATION

Presentations will include 20 minutes of content (with up to a 3-minute resource pitch). Each presentation will be pre-recorded and include actionable strategies, frameworks, or methodologies that attendees can implement immediately.

NETWORKING

Along with the presentations, there will be a private community platform for attendees to network, share insights, and ask questions. If you’re feeling motivated to engage with attendees, you are welcome to host a brief live Q&A session to provide even more value.

PROMOTION

Leading up to the summit, we’ll have 3 weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! We’ll provide a suggested posting/sending schedule for easy delegation to your team.

ALL-ACCESS PASS

During the promotion phase, summit runtime, and one week after, we’ll promote the All-Access Pass. This includes lifetime access to presentation recordings, bonus resources from speakers, exclusive worksheets, and implementation guides. This provides value to attendees while making your participation worthwhile through affiliate commissions and list growth.
