The 7th Edition of ET Edge DataCon Summit 2026 brings together India's leading CXOs, data and AI leaders, technology experts, and policymakers to explore how organisations can govern, trust, and activate data to create meaningful business impact.

As enterprises accelerate their investments in AI, analytics, and intelligent technologies, the focus is shifting from collecting data to generating actionable intelligence. Success today depends on an organisation's ability to transform information into insights, insights into decisions, and decisions into measurable outcomes. Through high-impact conversations, real-world use cases, and cross-industry perspectives, DataCon will examine how data, AI, governance, and trust are enabling organisations to build more intelligent, resilient, and future-ready enterprises.
