About the Forum

Where leaders who are doing the work come to think out loud

The WLDA Visionary Leaders Forum is our spring flagship: three days of honest, unfiltered dialogue among senior executives, Data & AI leaders and enterprise decision-makers. No vendor pitches and no surface-level trend reports, just a room full of peers comparing notes on what’s actually working.

In 2027 the Forum comes to Orlando, hosted with our partner KPMG at the KPMG Lakehouse. The theme and full program will be announced soon. Registration is now open: $1,500 for WLDA members and $3,000 for non-members.
