Where does our digital data go, and who really owns it? These are the questions at the core of our “Mind Grenades” event on November 3rd. We’ll be examining data ownership and its growing role in our daily lives–our digital world is changing. The tech paradigm is shifting from software to data. This shift has broad implications for everyone.

Major players in the tech, finance, and government sectors dominate discussions about AI. But they have a significant stake in how data is used and controlled. At our event, we’ll look into their influence, possible partnerships, and future predictions for data usage. Owning data might seem simple, but it’s not. We’ll discuss how ownership rights compare to data privacy and the broader effects of our personal data on the global digital landscape. We’ll also consider the relationship between data and the financial sector.

Our event will kick off with a hearty breakfast at 8:00 AM, followed by a series of insightful sessions that will last until 12:30 PM. Post a break, we’re lining up specialized webinars from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, providing a deeper understanding of some niche areas. We’re excited about our lineup of speakers. Joining us will be industry stalwarts like Roberto Campos Neto, Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems, and Gustavo Franco, among others.

The event will take place at the HanaHaus Palo Alto, located at 456 University Avenue, Palo Alto, CA. Please mark your calendars for Friday, November 3, 2023. And here’s a tip: Keep an eye on this space. We’ll be constantly updating with fresh information, agenda tweaks, and other relevant updates.
