## Background

The Federal Chief Data Officers (CDO) Council was established by the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (Pub. L. 115-435), which also requires all Federal agencies to appoint a CDO. The Council's vision is to improve government mission achievement and increase the benefits to the Nation through improvement in the management, use, protection, dissemination, and generation of data in government decision-making and operations. The CDO Council has more than 90 member CDOs from across the Federal Government, as well as representatives from the Office of Management and Budget, and other key councils and committees. The CDO Council has working groups that focus on critical topics as well as committees that help Federal agencies connect and collaborate. The CDO Council also works with other interagency executive councils on data related topics and activities.

The CDO Council Symposium is for Federal employees as well as any members of the public, including industry, civil society, academia, and any users of Federal Government data. As a result of this meeting, participants will gain insights from Federal leaders leveraging data to transform mission delivery and understand the alignment of AI and data management for sustained value in Federal agencies.
