​There is no better time to develop your network and professional profile than now.  Sharpen your saw with our return to in-person Conferences, starting this Fall in Calgary with DMC.

In October 2022, the Data Management Conference returns to Calgary for the fourth time, which is the first time since restrictions related to COVID caused DMC to go Virtual.   Again, in October, DMC will host both regional subject matter leaders and internationally known experts in the data field.  This year we are partnering with SAIT, who is providing our Conference the use of their downtown location in the former Odd Fellows building, currently housing SAIT’s School of Advanced Digital Technology.   This will be an outstanding location for DMC to relaunch its series of in-person educational conferences. The theme for this fall's conference is Intelligent Data Management.
 
The 2022 fall Data Management Conference will again bring a diverse group of industry professionals and speakers together to explore Data Science, Business Analytics, the Internet of Things, Blockchain and Cryptography, Streaming Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Data Management, Data Modeling, Data Architecture, Data Governance, Data Stewardship, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and  Data Security.
 
The Data Management Conference is an exciting two-day learning opportunity, comprised of one day of industry expert speakers and one day of hands-on education-focused workshops and Certification opportunities for Business, Data and Computing Professionals.  This year the workshops provide a pre-conference workshop featuring both lecture based and hands on learning opportunities on subject matter including methodology, professional certification, and software.
 
Over the course of the conference you will learn about new innovations in our field, methodologies and case studies using creative approaches to successfully solving complex problems.
