Your data is ready. Are you?
Connect 2026 is where MDM practitioners, business leaders, and technical teams come together to do something rare: actually move the needle. Two and a half days in Austin, built around the idea that when your data foundation is solid, you don’t just turn up the volume…you go all the way to 11.
We've done the heavy lifting. Download our justify-your-attendance template and send it straight to your manager.
Three days. Every dial turned up.
Day 1 - Find the Dial
Monday, September 28 · Welcome Reception
The signal is in the room from the moment you arrive. The Welcome Reception sets the tone: this is what it feels like when data professionals who are serious about their craft get in the same place. Make the connections that will make the next two days even better.
Day 2 - Turn It Up
Tuesday, September 29 · Full day of sessions + Networking Happy Hour
The opening session cranks the volume. From there, choose your own journey and go deep with sessions around: trustworthy data and intelligence, scaling AI in action, reigning in the chaos of product data, and enhancing the customer experience. The Marketplace is open all day for demos, Genius Bar sessions, and the kind of hallway conversations that solve real problems. Cap it off at the networking happy hour and then hit the town for dinner, drinks, and Austin doing what Austin does best.
Day 3 - All the Way to 11
Wednesday, September 30 · Sessions + Awards + Closing at Stubb’s
Another morning of breakouts, then the closing keynote that leaves no room for doubt: the future of MDM is live, cranked, and yours. The Awards recognize customers who’ve pushed their data to its limit and then the whole conference moves to Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, because Austin doesn’t do anything at 10.
