Emisha, together with Ataccama and Starburst will host two invitation-only executive lunches in Sydney and Melbourne this October. The sessions bring together senior data and technology leaders from across Australia for a candid, peer-led conversation on building trusted, AI-ready enterprise data.

Titled "From AI Ambition to Trusted AI: Building Australia's AI-Ready Data Foundation," each lunch addresses one of the most pressing questions facing enterprises today: as AI moves from experimentation into enterprise operations, how do organisations give AI and AI agents access to enterprise data while keeping it trusted, governed, high-quality and appropriately controlled?
