The Arch Data Network
The Arch Data Network meets Quarterly to provide opportunities for the St. Louis region to collaborate with thought leaders and data/AI professionals on the most innovative and transformational topics that are challenging local professionals and the community.
Next Event – April 16 – AI Governance & Innovation
The world of AI right now is simultaneous rich with innovation and rapid change. At the same time, it demands strong governance to ensure solutions deliver business value without unnecessarily increasing corporate risk. For this event, we’ll feature globally renown speakers who happen to live in the St. Louis region. John Ladley (consultant, author of “Data Governance: How to Design, Deploy, and Sustain an Effective Data Governance Program“, and host of the Rock Bottom Data Feed podcast) will share with us a blend of stories and thought leadership from helping organizations integrate AI into their data analytics landscape. Jeff Heaton (VP of AI Innovation at RGA and YouTube contributor @HeatonResearch) will then take us to the edge of AI innovation to help us uncover even more ways AI can drive value for us and our organizations.

We’ll also share updates from the January Civic Hackathon. Which solutions are making their way forward in collaboration with Civic City, TechSTL, and the City of St. Louis? What are those teams up to? What have they accomplished and what challenges are they facing? Maybe there’s a way for you to contribute!
