Salary & Sentiment Analysis 2027 – Roundtable Event
As AI tools become part of how data and analytics work gets done, data leaders need a clear view of how the profession is changing, from pay and hiring to how organisations are adopting and governing AI.
This Data Leaders Roundtable marks the launch of the Annual Salary & Job Sentiment Analysis 2027 and will take place as a working lunch at The Merrion Hotel from 12:30 to 14:30.
The session will examine current patterns and developments across the data and analytics profession, drawing on findings from the 2027 report. For the first time, the report includes a dedicated section on AI in the workplace.
Discussion will focus on questions including:
- How often data and analytics professionals use AI tools in their work, which tools they use, and how they expect AI to affect their roles over the next three years
- What stage organisations have reached with AI, whether they have seen measurable returns, and the main barriers to adoption
- How organisations are governing AI use, including AI policies and approved tool use, preparedness for the EU AI Act, and employer-provided AI training
- Patterns in salary change over the last 12 months and salary expectations for 2027, across job levels and areas of data practice
- Hiring plans for data roles in 2027, job mobility, retention, job security and gender balance
The session will open with a presentation of key findings from the report, followed by a panel discussion and a facilitated roundtable conversation to explore the themes raised and their practical implications.
This event is for members of the Data Leaders Forum and is by invitation only.
