Taking place from 8-9 April, the second edition of the IATA World Data Symposium (WDS) is around the corner.
WDS is a unique event drawing in more than 700 delegates from airlines, airports, IT companies and technology providers from around the globe. The agenda is shaping up to be something truly special. We are working on a lineup of speakers from airlines including Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Air New Zealand, as well as from IBM, Netskope, OpenAI, Confluent, and Globant.
The event will be focused on two unique tracks or “runways”: data & technology and cybersecurity. The aim is to enable collaboration and further opportunities to learn from each other and work together in these important areas.
There will also be dedicated sessions on the outcome of the Data and Technology Proof of Concept (DaT PoC) Strategic Partnership. The DaT PoC, includes a team of airlines and strategic partners that worked together for several months to develop PoCs on key industry topics. The teams will now have the opportunity to present their PoCs on stage. The four PoC topics that will be presented are:

In addition to the WDS, there will be various industry meetings before and after the main event.
