We often treat data as an IT problem—but it's not. It’s a business responsibility as well. In this meetup, we’ll talk about what data governance really means, why it matters, and how to approach it in a way that actually works.

Data is everywhere, but structure and responsibility around it often aren’t. This meetup is for anyone who works with data—or makes decisions based on it.

We'll talk through the practical side of data governance:

• Why it’s not just an IT issue
• How to understand your data flow
• What governance models actually look like (centralized, federated, hybrid)
• Who should be responsible for what
• What makes data trustworthy (quality, ownership, stewardship)
• How to make governance something that supports—not blocks—your work

You don’t need to be a data architect to join. If you’re part of a team that relies on accurate, consistent, and available data, this conversation is for you.

No buzzwords, no fluff—just a real discussion about treating data like the asset it is.
