GOAT

Connect has three days of sessions. We're keeping ours simple: two dates. Monday the 28th, we open the week with a private dinner. Small table, good barbecue, real conversations about master data. Wednesday the 30th, Kimberly-Clark takes the stage with Daniela Reyes and Daniel Winstead. We worked with their team for 24 months. You'll want to hear how it went. Dinner is invite-only and we confirm guests until September 25. Request your seat through the link in the comments.

Sessions give you the highlights. Dinner gives you the deep dive. On Monday, September 28, we're hosting a small dinner for people working on master data. No pitches, no panels. Just brisket and the questions nobody asks at a microphone. Julio Hallo, Juan Manuel Moncaleano, Daniela Reyes and Daniel Winstead will be at the table. The guest list is curated and closes September 25.

In September 25, we close the guest list for our Austin dinner. If you're flying to Stibo Systems Connect and you work with MDM or PIM, this is the room you want to be in on Monday night. People who deal with messy data every day. Teams that already solved some of it. Click on the image to save your seat.

For 24 months we worked next to Kimberly-Clark's team on their master data project. On Wednesday the 30th, they tell the story themselves. What they changed, what got hard, and what the results look like today. If you only pick one session at Connect this year, pick this one. We'll be in the front row. See you in Austin. Thank you, Stibo Systems, for building a stage where the entire partner ecosystem can push the limits of trusted intelligence.

We're not going to Austin to give a talk. We're going to hand you three things you can use on Monday. At Stibo Systems Connect 2026, Kimberly-Clark takes the stage to share their master data journey — 18 months of it, with us alongside. We can't spoil the story. But we can tell you what you'll walk out with: 1. Simplify before you scale. There's a type of debt nobody puts on the balance sheet, and it decides how fast your platform can move. KC dealt with it first. We'll show you why that order matters. 2. Partner for capability, not just capacity. Extra hands are easy to find. What made the difference under pressure was something you can't hire fast enough — and the session gets specific about it. 3. Clean, governed data is your ticket to the agentic era. If your data can't drive an agent, it can't drive your future. That's not a tagline — it's the reason this whole story exists. The how, the trade-offs, the decisions behind each one — that's what the session is for. Austin, September 30. If master data is your problem, this hour pays for the trip. Drop a comment if you'll be there. Let's talk. #StiboSystemsConnect
