FAQS

Q. What is Enterprise Data World (EDW)?

A. Enterprise Data World (EDW) has long been recognized as the most comprehensive educational conference on Data Management in the world. Taking place over five days, 80+ speakers will present a diverse schedule of programming that addresses every level of proficiency.

Several simultaneous topic tracks and the variety of sessions (Keynotes, Tutorials, Case Studies) make it easy for each of our attendees to tailor their ideal agenda!

Q. When and where will EDW 2024 take place?

A. EDW 2024 will take place March 25-29, 2024 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, FL.

Q. How is 2024's EDW different from Fall 2023's EDW? 

A. EDW in Spring has long been the largest and most comprehensive event dedicated to Data Management, and we expect this to continue. September's EDW had a slightly different format (4 days instead of 5), but otherwise, the two events are very similar in structure and focus outside of their different locations. 

Q. What takes place each day?

A. We will kick off with the Women's Program on Sunday afternoon (March 24th) and Half-Day Tutorials on Monday morning and evening (March 25th). The Conference Program (including Conference Sessions, Keynotes, and Sponsored In-Perspectives) and Exhibits take place Tuesday-Wednesday (March 26th-27th). And we end the event with either One-Day Workshops on Thursday only (March 28th) or Two-Day Seminars taking place Thursday-Friday (March 28th-29th), depending on your registration option. 

We'll also be conducting a NEW program Women in Data Management and Governance. This event, taking place Sunday at 2:00pm, is automatically included in your conference registration, and all are welcome. More details to be announced!

Q. How do I get to speak at the conference?

A. Most of the sessions are selected through a Call for Presentations (CFP) process. The CFP for EDW 2024 is now closed, but if you'd like to be notified when the next CFP opens, please sign up here. 

Additionally, some sessions, such as Keynotes and Panels, are developed through specific invitations to the speakers. There are also some vendor speaking sessions that are identified on the program agenda as “sponsored.”
