Aaron Zornes, The CDI-MDM Institute's founder and chief research officer and former META Group executive vice president, will keynote and chair the event.

The CDI-MDM SUMMIT - SPRING 2007, a semi-annual conference and largest of its kind in this marketplace, is designed to meet the needs of mid-to-large organizations that are implementing or evaluating customer data integration (CDI) and master data management (MDM) within varied industries.

In conjunction with SourceMedia's Events & Conferences Group and DM Review, Zornes is responsible for designing the conference agenda and speaker lineup. The agenda covers both areas of CDI and MDM by providing a road map for attendees with more than 50 real-world case studies, expert panel discussions and thought-leading presentations from Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, SAP, among others.

"This conference provides a unique opportunity for enterprise architects, CTOs and CIOs to learn from and network with the best and the brightest in CDI and MDM," said Zornes. "The agenda includes world class CDI and MDM front-runners, sharing their expertise on timely topics such as data governance, privacy compliance and data integration services."

Brian Cronin, publisher, DM Review, adds, "We saw the emergence of CDI and MDM several years ago when we launched our CDI and MDM Resource Portals at DMReview.com and added Aaron Zornes as a regular columnist in our publication last year. This is the natural next step - to host a conference of this scale with the leading industry experts."
