Chief Data Officers play an integral role in ensuring the responsible use and effective management of data across organizations.

Hosted by the GC Data Community, this informative event will explore the accountabilities of Chief Data Officers within the federal government and highlight how they are driving the responsible use of data, advancing data management, and building the skills needed to foster an inclusive and innovative, data-driven culture—all in alignment with the 2023–2026 Data Strategy for the Federal Public Service.
