Where Practical Learning Meets Real-World Impact
The Data Governance & Information Quality Conference (DGIQ) is the industry’s premier event focused exclusively on Data Governance and Information Quality.
Enterprise Data World (EDW) has long held its place as the most comprehensive educational conference on Data Management.
In Spring 2025, these two powerhouses joined forces—and in Spring 2026, they’re back together again for a second year of connection, insight, and growth. Hosted at the Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa in San Diego, this event blends expert-led education with an unmatched setting for networking and professional development.
Why Attend?
At DGIQ West + EDW 2026, you'll gain practical strategies from leading experts in the field, explore real-world case studies and proven best practices, and access certification prep, hands-on workshops, and more. The event is designed to foster meaningful connections, giving you the chance to build your network in an environment that encourages collaboration. Most importantly, you’ll leave with actionable insights you can put to work—not just ideas to file away. Whether you’re just starting out or leading enterprise-wide initiatives, DGIQ West + EDW 2026 offers content to meet you where you are—and take you further.
