The International Society of Chief Data Officers, isCDO, was created by a group of CDOs who had regularly attended the MIT CDO/Information Quality Symposium and who recognized the need for an online space to bring together data leaders all year round and not just for the Symposium. The is CDO provide virtual and real meeting spaces for data leaders to come together and to share ideas, developments, and problems with the aim of ensuring that data leaders/CDOs across the world are better equipped to fulfill their role in leading the organization they are a part of to gain greater value from the data they create, collect and store.
