Practitioner conference on data governance, data quality, metadata, MDM and (from 2024) AI governance, run by DATAVERSITY (2019 edition co-produced with Debtech International, which ran DGIQ earlier). Five-day format: Monday tutorials, Tue-Wed conference sessions, keynotes and exhibits, Thu-Fri tutorials and two-day seminars. Each year has its own site (dgiq2021, dgiq2022west, ... .dataversity.net); dgiqconference.com redirects to the current one. History: June 2019 San Diego (in person). 2020: the June San Diego edition was replaced by an online DGIQ 2020 Virtual, and the planned December 2020 Washington, DC edition (dgiq2020dc) went online (Dec 7-11, 2020); both online-only, not recorded as editions. December 2021 San Diego (moved from June because of COVID). From 2022 two editions a year: DGIQ West (June, San Diego) and DGIQ East (December, Washington, DC). December 2024 East was co-located with the first AI Governance Conference (DGIQ East + AIGov). Merger with Enterprise Data World: from spring 2025 DATAVERSITY combined DGIQ West with Enterprise Data World (EDW) into one event, 'DGIQ West + EDW' (also 'DGIQ + EDW'): Anaheim May 2025, San Diego May 2026, San Diego April 2027. These combined editions are recorded here (id_suffix west), not under enterprise-data-world. No DGIQ East edition was found for December 2025; the East + AIGov event returns 16-19 November 2026 in Providence, RI. Sponsor tiers: Premier (normalized title), Platinum, Gold, Silver, Additional Sponsors (normalized other; mostly associations and media partners such as DAMA, DGPO, TDAN). Social accounts are DATAVERSITY's (the organizer), not conference-specific.
