Conference
CDAO UK London 2027
CDAO UK 2027 is a two-day conference for enterprise data and AI leaders, run by Corinium on 23–24 February 2027 at 88 Wood Street in the City of London.

About this event
CDAO UK 2027 is a London conference for chief data and analytics officers, organised by Corinium Global Intelligence. The 2027 edition is set for 23 and 24 February at TOGETHER, 88 Wood Street, in the City of London. Moorgate, Liverpool Street and City Thameslink are listed as the nearest stations, with Moorgate tube about four minutes away on foot. There is no parking on site, and the area is inside the congestion charge zone.
Attendees are senior staff at large organisations: CDOs, CAOs and CIOs, plus the directors and managers responsible for data strategy, analytics, risk, governance, compliance and automation. The organiser cites 60+ speakers and 200+ attendees for CDAO UK. It sits under the Corinium Data, AI & Security Summit banner, co-located with Data & AI Architecture UK on 23 February and Government UK on 24 February, and for the full summit the organiser cites 400+ attendees and 40+ exhibits.
The 2027 themes are data-driven decision making, AI for fraud detection, governance and compliance, and the ethics of AI in enterprise services. Day one starts with a keynote from Enrica Porcari, CIO of CERN, on governing AI at scale. A case study from Thomas Geerinck of ING follows, then a panel of data chiefs from Macquarie, Danske Bank and DWS on where data and AI could add the next £100m of value. From 11:10 the programme splits into a CDAO track, covering data quality, ownership and governance with speakers from the Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England, and a CAIO track on scaling AI beyond pilots, automated decisions and AI operating models. Live poll debates, an exhibition area and speed networking round out the format.
Ticket prices are not published on the registration page. Fees are in GBP, group discounts are handled by email, and end-user passes are reserved for end-user companies, so solution providers and consultancies pay the vendor rate. There are no refunds; cancelling more than 14 days before the event earns credit toward a future Corinium conference.
For affiliates and media buyers the link is indirect. Nothing on the published day-one agenda covers traffic, user acquisition or affiliate programmes, and much of it centres on banks and regulated finance. The event makes more sense for vendors selling AI, analytics or fraud tools to enterprise data teams, and for AI-focused publishers who want access to senior buyers and regulators.
