Paper Submission Details

This year, we will dive into the heart of why we engage in data management, underscoring the critical role of data managers as architects of trust in digital transformation and GenAI/ML applications. The theme highlights the transformation of raw data into valuable insights, underscoring the importance of collaboration across organizations and industries. It also celebrates data managers as the unsung heroes who organize, secure, and leverage data for maximum impact.

As such, we will also discuss the importance of human oversight in data processes, the collaborative approaches needed to build a trusted data foundation, and the ways in which organizations can maximize the value of modern cloud technologies.

We are inviting you to submit high-quality papers sharing practical examples, lessons learned, best practices, use cases, success stories, methodologies, plans, and trends in relevant areas of data, digital, and information, such as:

1. Back to Basics:   We seek examples of consistent application of data governance across organizations and invite papers on collaboration in developing robust data governance frameworks resulting in a trusted data foundation and enabling compliant sharing of data.

2. OSDU:   Share your real case experiences with OSDU, whether as an operator, service provider, or community contributor. Discuss the use of data schemas, access management, technical assurance, data insights, data governance, data quality, seamless workflows, upscaling and more!

3. Data Analytics/ML/AI:   ML&AI revolutionize data management, enhancing quality, governance, compliance, and security. Technologies like NLP (Natural Language Processing), Generative AI, Computer Vision, and IoT are popular across domains, especially in the energy sector. Share your insights and success stories with us.

4. Geospatial:   Geospatial data is vital for data-driven decision-making and intersects with various data management disciplines. We seek insights on integrating and securing geospatial data, its role in ML and AI, cloud adoption, and promoting open access.

5. Information Management:   Highlight successful strategies for integrating information management across organizations to enhance information quality, accessibility, and compliance.

6. Garbage in, Garbage out (GIGO):   Quality output depends on quality input. We seek insights on how your organization, with data managers and governance strategies, ensures data integrity and reliability through collaborative efforts and practical strategies.

7. Sustainable Energy and Low-Carbon Solutions:   As the world moves towards sustainable energy, organizations face challenges in managing evolving data requirements. Share your insights and lessons on adapting data management practices to foster collaboration across energy domains (CCS, Thermal, Nuclear, Renewable, etc.).

8. Data Organization and Collaboration:   We invite you to share insights on data organization, operations, team topology, and cross-business collaboration to ensure a robust data foundation and successful adoption of cloud technologies/AI/ML while scaling up.

9. Data Management Profession:   What does it mean to be an effective data manager in the Energy Transition with the continued investment in Oil & Gas? How can Petroleum Data Managers adapt to become Energy Data Managers, leveraging E&P Data Management skills across wind, nuclear, hydrogen and CCS disciplines?

10. Data Literacy:   Data Management by Data Managers is always perfect – the trouble starts when end-users get involved. How do you ensure end-users efficiently adopt rules, best practices and/or tools to prevent your well-organized data environment from becoming a data swamp.

11. Data Products and Data Mesh:   We’d like to hear about your experiences on adopting data mesh and data products, addressing challenges around governance, ownership, data quality, interoperability and scalability.

12. Fail-fast (or not so fast) experiences:   We adopt agile and "fail fast" to drive continuous improvement and innovation. While success is often highlighted, failures provide valuable learning. Sharing failures within our community helps us learn from each other and innovate more effectively.

13. Regulators:   Update on changing reporting requirements to national authorities and inform about the development of digital reporting workflows to NDRs. Are regulators keeping pace with the Industry?

We invite you to submit papers on these topics and more, be part of the conference and share your knowledge and experiences with the ECIM community.
