About the Webinar
Your data has stories to tell. Metadata is what makes those stories findable, trustworthy, and actionable, yet it remains one of the most overlooked pieces of any governance program.
This isn’t a theoretical discussion. Join four practitioners who are actively building and scaling metadata strategies across healthcare, financial services, and enterprise technology. They’ll share how to design a metadata foundation that drives data quality, enables discovery, supports compliance, and holds up as your organization grows.
If metadata isn’t part of your governance strategy yet, it will be after this.
Jimm, Anjita, and Mindy are also speaking at DGIQ + EDW 2026 this May in San Diego. Join them in person: dgiqconference.com.
