Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — This March 2026, Kuala Lumpur will become the epicenter of Malaysia’s data and AI transformation as rockbird media launches dataAIX Malaysia 2026, a premier executive gathering designed to accelerate the nation’s journey from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide implementation. The conference brings together senior data, technology, and business leaders to navigate Malaysia’s US$40 billion AI opportunity.
Charting the Path Forward
The day opens with a critical keynote, “Malaysia’s AI Adoption: Where Are We and Where To Next?” — setting the strategic context for organizations navigating the gap between AI awareness and meaningful implementation in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets.
Across three parallel roundtable rooms, industry leaders will tackle the foundational challenges and opportunities defining successful AI transformation:
- Cloud-First, Data-First, AI-First: A Holistic Strategy Towards an AI-Driven Enterprise — Building the integrated infrastructure and strategic alignment needed to unlock AI’s full potential.
- Decoding Complex Data Into a Strategic Asset through AI-Powered Analytics — Transforming raw data into actionable intelligence that drives competitive advantage.
- Rebuilding Barriers into Bridges: Avoiding Pitfalls of AI Adoption — Learning from early missteps to create sustainable, scalable AI implementations.
The morning culminates in a timely panel discussion, “Remaining Sustainable in the Midst of Hyperscale Data Center Expansion,” addressing how Malaysia can balance its ambitious infrastructure growth with environmental responsibility and long-term sustainability.
From Strategy to Execution
The afternoon keynote, “Navigating the Automation of AI Lifecycle: Build, Deploy, Steer,” explores the operational realities of taking AI from concept to production at scale, focusing on the tools, processes, and governance needed to manage AI systems throughout their entire lifecycle.
The second roundtable series dives into the cutting-edge challenges shaping the next phase of AI adoption:
- Protecting Data with Sovereign AI Cloud — Addressing data sovereignty, security, and localized AI infrastructure in an increasingly regulated landscape.
- Enterprise Readiness for Agentic AI Implementation — Preparing organizations for autonomous AI systems that can take action and make decisions.
- Disrupting with, not disrupted by, Gen AI — Harnessing generative AI as a competitive weapon rather than falling victim to market disruption.
Ethics, Governance, and Trust
As AI becomes more powerful and pervasive, the keynote “AI Ethics and Governance: Making AI ‘For’ All” examines how organizations can build responsible AI systems that serve all stakeholders while maintaining public trust and regulatory compliance.
The conference concludes with the panel discussion “Protecting Customer Data, Building Trust, and Ensuring Secure Transactions,” tackling the critical intersection of data security, privacy, and customer confidence that will determine which organizations successfully scale AI in an era of heightened digital risk.
Beyond Technology — A Platform for Transformation
More than a conference, dataAIX Malaysia 2026 serves as a strategic catalyst for turning AI potential into business reality. Participants gain exclusive access to curated 1-to-1 meetings with solution providers, intimate roundtable discussions with peers facing similar challenges, and networking opportunities designed to forge partnerships that drive tangible outcomes.
With Malaysia projected to secure over US$40 billion in AI-related investments by 2030, this event arrives at a pivotal moment—when organizations must move from experimentation to execution, from awareness to implementation.
