Two global stages. Two very different environments. One shared challenge: using data to make better decisions in high-stakes situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Data Decoded LDN 2026, taking place on 22\u201323 April at Olympia London<\/strong>, has confirmed its headline keynote speakers \u2014 bringing together expertise from space exploration and Formula 1<\/strong> to explore how data, AI and strategy drive real-world outcomes.<\/p>\n

Opening the event is Dr. Jeevan Perera<\/span><\/span>, followed by a closing keynote from Ruth Buscombe<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Together, they frame the event with two powerful perspectives on how organisations can move from data ambition to measurable impact.<\/p>\n

\n

Opening Keynote: NASA\u2019s Perspective on AI, Robotics and the Future of Exploration<\/h4>\n

Dr. Jeevan Perera, Senior Engineer and Deputy Station Chief at NASA<\/strong>, will open Data Decoded LDN with a keynote exploring how AI and robotics are being used to overcome the challenges of getting to the Moon and Mars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Operating in one of the most complex and unforgiving environments imaginable, NASA relies on data not just for optimisation, but for survival. From autonomous systems to advanced analytics, AI is playing a critical role in enabling missions where precision, reliability and decision-making are paramount.<\/p>\n

This session will provide attendees with a rare insight into how cutting-edge technologies are being applied at the frontier of human exploration \u2014 and what organisations can learn from these approaches when tackling their own complex challenges.<\/p>\n

\n

Closing Keynote: Formula 1 Strategy and the Power of Real-Time Data<\/h4>\n

Closing the event, Ruth Buscombe, Formula 1 Race Strategist, F1TV Analyst and Broadcaster,<\/strong>\u00a0brings a perspective from one of the most data-intensive and time-critical sports in the world.<\/p>\n

Across roles with Ferrari, Haas and Sauber, Ruth has built a career on translating data into race-winning decisions<\/strong>, where milliseconds and marginal gains define success.<\/p>\n

Her keynote will explore how high-performance teams:<\/p>\n
