Co-located with the Master Data Management Conference Europe 2026

London, UK — IRM UK is pleased to open the call for speakers for Data, AI Governance & MDM 2026, taking place in London from 23–27 March 2026.

This five-day event will bring together leading minds in data and AI governance, offering cutting-edge insights, practical frameworks, and hands-on workshops. We are seeking proposals from practitioners, thought leaders, and domain experts eager to share their lessons learned, methods, and real-world experiences, not sales pitches.

We welcome submissions in the following formats:

• • Conference sessions: 30 or 45 minutes
  • Keynotes: 45–60 minutes
  • Workshops: 3–6 hours

Each proposal should include a title, a ~150-word abstract, and 3–5 key takeaways for participants.

Key Themes for 2026

We are particularly interested in topics including (but not limited to):

• • Embedding AI governance into existing data governance programmes
  • Ethical, legal, and operational challenges in generative AI
  • Data quality, metadata management, lineage & traceability
  • Integration of Master Data Management (MDM) with data and AI governance
  • Emerging technologies such as blockchain, IoT, and knowledge graphs
  • Governance in hybrid, multi-cloud, and agentic AI systems

Speakers selected will receive complimentary access to the two main conference days, plus discounted passes for their team.

We look forward to shaping the future of Data Governance, AI Governance, and Master Data Management with you.
