CDOIQ Nordic Symposium

About CDOIQ
For the past 18 years, the Annual CDOIQ Symposium has historically been held at the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The purpose has been to advance knowledge in data leadership and create a better understanding of how organizations can ensure quality in the data, algorithms, and programs they manage which in turn will help data and industry leaders create impactful value for business through trustworthy data.
