> Atlan is hosting Context Conference, bringing together the leaders and builders at the frontier of giving AI the context it needs to understand their business. It runs online on October 28, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar opens and closes the day. Leaders from AstraZeneca, BNY and Verizon share why they invest in context and what they get from it. Registrants get early access to The AI Context Gap, a new study from MIT Technology Review Insights. Register: https://atlan.com/context-conference/

Executive Industry Leadership Circles: "like therapy... for data executives." Virtual, industry-specific peer discussions (Zoom) for Heads of Data, Analytics and Technology, VPs, and senior leaders who also lie awake wondering if their data governance strategy is working. The circles tackle the challenges that matter most, from AI use cases to making compliance less painful.
