The heist of the century is being planned: what if your data were the jackpot?
Data is the new gold.
In the hushed half-light of a casino, between red velvet and golden reflections, the real treasure isn't on the gaming tables. It sleeps in the vault. And the finest heists are planned with elegance, discretion and a tight-knit crew.
Your data follows the same path. Collected, cross-referenced, resold, it sometimes travels where nobody looks… all the way to the dark web.
The Great Data Heist takes you behind the scenes of this silent heist, for an evening designed for the data experts and leaders of French-speaking Switzerland.
Presented in partnership with Techfirm Information Systems, RegData, Impactful Speaking and Decideo, this edition dedicated to data protection brings together experts in data protection, security and governance, who take the stage to share their experience and spark the evening's conversations.
On the programme:
- concrete experience sharing to understand what truly has value, how to protect it, and what happens when it falls into the wrong hands;
- a live hacking demonstration revealing how much can be learned about a person online;
- a team spy game: find your team of spies and collect together the data that will let you open the vault.
Above all, The Great Data Heist is a moment of peer-to-peer networking. A deliberately limited guest list, selected attendees and segments designed to create connections: everything is built to bring together the best conditions for real professional opportunities.
The prize: the jackpot for the team that cracks the vault's secret, and new connections for everyone.
The vault is locked. Teams are forming. The heist begins on 29 October. 🔐

Who guards the vault? 4 perspectives on data protection
Four speakers share their experience in 15 minutes each, coached by Damien Gauthier in the TEDx style:
Christophe Verbaere, Advisory Board, RegData: 35 years across regulated finance, space and cybersecurity, and one conviction: trust rests on shared rules. How do you share your data without sharing your risks?
Olivier Lallement, Head of Data Security, Richemont Group: protecting the data of a group and all its Maisons is first a matter of culture. How do you make data responsibility a shared reflex?
Ludivine Gustave dit Duflo, Strategic Advisor, AI governance: the enemy isn't always outside. With AI, risk also lies in our own decisions. Seeing clearly before deciding becomes the first line of defence.
Amine Mansour, Managing Director & Head of Data & AI, Itecor: data and AI only create value if they can be trusted. Why protection is the condition for performance.
