Data Sovereignty 2026: Reality, Relevance, Roadmap

Date: October 22, 2026
Target Market: US / North America
Conducted in English

Data sovereignty has moved from a theoretical debate to a boardroom imperative. Regulations, geopolitical shifts, rising cybersecurity threats, and growing cloud dependency force organizations to rethink how they keep control over data while scaling platforms and AI initiatives.

This BARC webinar offers sponsors the opportunity to position their expertise and demonstrate practical approaches to data sovereignty in a vendor-neutral setting. BARC will present key findings from the new study “Data Sovereignty 2026: Reality, Relevance, Roadmap”, outlining current maturity levels, priorities, and roadblocks. Sponsors will then share their perspective on how to translate sovereignty ambitions into execution, from governance and architecture to operational measures.

You will engage an audience of decision-makers evaluating strategies and solutions to increase control, resilience, and compliance. The format combines thought leadership with real-world takeaways, strengthening brand visibility, credibility, and qualified lead generation.
