SUMMARY:Microsoft Purview: From Vision to Value
DESCRIPTION:Data governance has never been more critical – or more complex. \nAs organizations work to modernize their data estates\, Microsoft Purview has emerged as a cornerstone platform for unified data discovery\, classification\, lineage\, and compliance.

Microsoft will share the design strategies and intentions behind Purview — how it was built\, what problems it was built to solve\, and where it’s headed — while Sullexis brings real-world perspective from client implementations\, covering what accelerates success\, where organizations commonly struggle\, and how to navigate the gap between expectation and execution. \nWhether you’re evaluating Purview for the first time\, actively implementing it\, working to mature an existing deployment\, or simply looking to sharpen your data governance strategy regardless of the tools you’re using — this event delivers both the product depth and the field experience to help you move forward with confidence. \nWhat to expect: \n\nMicrosoft’s perspective on Purview’s design principles\, core capabilities\, and roadmap direction\nPractitioner insights from real client implementations across industries\nAn honest discussion of common challenges and how organizations are working through them\nOpen Q&A and networking with fellow data management professionals\n\nThis is a rare opportunity to hear from both sides of the table — the people who built the platform and the people deploying it every day.

SUMMARY:Metadata-First: The New Data Operating System
DESCRIPTION:What if metadata could do far more than document your data?\nJoin DAMA Houston for an engaging session with data strategist\, author\, and advisor\, Larry Shiller\, as he explores why a metadata-first approach is becoming the new operating system for data-driven organizations. \nMetadata is often treated as documentation; but when elevated to a first-class citizen\, it can become the control plane for data products\, governance\, analytics\, and AI. \nLarry will explore how leading organizations are using metadata to automate governance\, accelerate self-service\, scale data products\, and build more trustworthy\, explainable\, and policy-enforced AI. \nIn this session\, you’ll learn how to:\n– Distinguish metadata-as-documentation from metadata-as-control-plane\n– Understand how metadata can drive data products\, governance\, and AI\n– Explore the concept of “non-contentful code” and why it matters\n– Identify common organizational roadblocks to a metadata-first strategy\n– Assess your organization’s metadata maturity and develop a practical 90-day roadmap \nThe session will combine conceptual framing\, real-world examples\, and actionable guidance\, including a reference architecture\, maturity model\, case examples\, and an attendee checklist/scorecard. \nWho should attend?\nCDOs\, CTOs\, CIOs\, data governance leaders\, data product owners\, enterprise architects\, and leaders responsible for analytics\, AI\, and digital transformation. \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Attendee Name *FirstLastEmail *CompanyEvent(Please select one)Metadata-First: The New Data Operating System2026 DAMA Houston CDMP Exam (Pay-only if you pass)I am interested inData Management\, Data Governance\, Data StrategyAI\, Generative AI\, ChatGPTLatest tools and technologyCDMP CertificationOtherRSVP
