CDAIO National Forum West 2026 took place October 11–13, 2026.

The organizer reported connections with 75+ CDOs and data leaders.

It was held at M Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Enterprise Directors, Vice Presidents, and Chief Data, Analytics, and AI Officers from organizations with $500M+ revenue or 1,000+ employees were eligible to attend; each registrant was individually vetted.

It suits senior data and AI leaders at large enterprises, since every registrant was vetted, the forum reported CDOs among its attendees, and speakers were billed from SurveyMonkey, Atlassian, Solventum and NielsenIQ. Qualified executives paid nothing, so the real cost was time and screening; practitioners below director level or at smaller organizations would not have met the attendance criteria.

Executives at data and AI leadership forums usually wear smart business casual, such as a blazer or open-collar shirt, which fits a Las Vegas resort in October, with a light layer for air-conditioned rooms.
