What to expect at Ataccama FWRD 2026

In 2026, data leaders put AI into production. Agents moved into real business workflows, often faster than organizations could prepare the data behind them. Yet 67% of data leaders say they don’t fully trust the data in their organization, even as they’re asked to scale AI faster than ever.

FWRD 2026 is built for the leaders working through that tension. On November 5 at 10 AM ET, join data leaders from Lennar, Mondelēz International, Lloyds Banking Group, iA Financial Group, and more for a two-part virtual session. Rewind looks at what shaped trusted AI this year, from augmented data quality to agentic data management and governed context. Fast FWRD looks ahead to what 2027 will ask of data teams.

Rewind: How data leaders built trust in 2026

If your organization is moving AI into production, our Rewind session shows how your peers have made that shift and what they learned along the way.

Isaac Gabay, VP of Data & AI at Lennar, leads the enterprise data initiatives behind the company’s modernization and AI ambitions. He’ll share Lennar’s path to AI readiness, including how his team builds trust in the AI agents it runs in production.

You’ll also hear from Jo Riseborough, Group Data Management and Data Culture Director at Lloyds Banking Group. She’ll describe how Lloyds approached data modernization, grounded in her belief that AI’s success depends on the data discipline behind it. Chantale Boulanger and Nickolaos Mikedis of iA Financial Group bring the master data perspective. They’ll explain how they built an MDM foundation and a 360-degree client view that gave teams one shared picture of each customer, and how they’re responding to the new demands of the AI era.

Data trust in action: Ataccama ONE demos

Alongside these stories, you’ll see the Ataccama ONE platform at work on the challenges data teams face as AI scales.

A series of demos will take attendees through the application of data quality checks and anomaly detection at the source, before data reaches your warehouse. Ataccama experts and product leaders will also show how to ground AI agents in quantified quality scores and governed context through an MCP. You’ll see how teams write a data quality rule once and apply it everywhere, with alerts that escalate where you need them. And you’ll see how agents can take on cataloging work across many assets at once.

For teams facing regulatory pressure, the demos also include a new master data management experience built to serve golden records into agentic workflows. They cover augmented lineage for SAP environments that supports traceability for audits. 

Fast FWRD: Predictions shaping 2027

Fast FWRD is for leaders already planning next year. Peter Stojanovic, Editor of HotTopics and a regular interviewer of FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 executives, moderates a panel on five predictions for 2027. He’s joined by panelists from Snowflake and Deloitte, alongside Camilla Björkqvist, Senior Director Global Data Governance & Transformation at Mondelēz International, Juan Sequeda, Principal Data Strategist & Researcher at ServiceNow, and Jay Limburn, President of Ataccama. 

The panel will explore how data management teams will partner with the business on AI, and why trust, context, and semantic layers will matter more. It will also look at how AI will change the way data issues are detected and fixed, and where AI governance and regulation are headed. You’ll leave with each panelist’s advice on what to prioritize for the year ahead.

Jessie Smith, Ataccama’s Chief Product Officer, will then offer an exclusive look at how those predictions connect to the 2027 Ataccama product roadmap.

Looking back to move FWRD

Both parts come back to the idea at the center of the Ataccama platform: Trust your data, and you can accelerate your AI. FWRD 2026 is a chance to learn what worked for data leaders this year and plan for what 2027 will ask of your team.
