​Designing the Data Fabric: Where to Start, What to Standardise, and What to Let Evolve

​TOPIC

​SAP and The Ortus Club are bringing together senior data, architecture, and governance leaders from enterprise organisations across APAC for an in-person executive roundtable on Designing the Data Fabric: Where to Start, What to Standardise, and What to Let Evolve.

​In this session, participants will explore how organisations are making early, high-impact decisions when designing data fabric architectures, particularly as they prepare for artificial intelligence at scale. The session will focus on:

• ​Where to begin when defining a data fabric roadmap

• ​What standards must be centralised versus where domain-level flexibility matters

• ​How to establish shared semantics, trust, and governance without constraining innovation

​

​This event creates a confidential, peer-based environment where leaders can share experiences, compare approaches, and gain new perspectives on designing data fabric foundations that balance architectural consistency, domain autonomy, and readiness for agentic AI.

​

​WHO IS ATTENDING?

​Join senior leaders responsible for shaping data architecture and governance decisions that enable scalable, trusted AI outcomes.

​Participants typically include senior data and analytics leaders, enterprise and architecture executives, governance and data quality leaders, and other decision-makers defining how data platforms evolve across the organisation.
