Streaming Featurization with Ibis, Substrait and Apache Arrow

Wes Mckinney | CTO and Cofounder | Voltron Data and David Palaitis | Managing Director | Two Sigma

This session covers how Two Sigma and Voltron Data have leveraged their areas of expertise to collaborate and improve the performance of featurization workflows using the Ibis, Substrait, and Arrow software stack.

Thrive in the Data Tooling Tornado: Lead, Hire, and Execute Better by Escaping Older Industrial Antipatterns

Adam Breindel | Independent Consultant

This talk covers the challenges faced by data tooling products and how they are the result of outdated anti-patterns held over from the 20th-century industry. It also looks at solutions that make it easier for data teams to hire, manage, retain, and execute effectively using modern data tooling — all while gaining that sought-after efficiency.

Reliable Pipelines and High Quality Data without the Toil

Kyle Kirwan | Co-Founder | Big Eye

Check out this talk to learn about the history of data quality testing and data observability inside Uber, the differences between data observability and other methods like data pipeline tests, how techniques developed there can be applied by data engineers anywhere, and an overview of both commercially available and open source tools available today.

Building a Data Mesh: Strategies and Best Practices for Navigating the Implementation of a Data Mesh

Hajar Khizou | Lead Data Engineer | SustainCERT

This session explores the principles and practices of data mesh, a new approach to thinking about data based on a distributed architecture that promotes decentralized ownership and control of data assets. It also addresses the strategies and best practices for implementing a data mesh.

Applying Engineering Best Practices in Data Lakes Architectures

Einat Orr | Ceo and Co-Founder | Treeverse

This talk examines why agile methodology, continuous integration, and continuous deployment and production monitoring are essential for data lakes. You’ll also learn how these best practices create a safe environment that produces higher-quality data in less time.

Getting into Data Engineering

Joe Reis | CEO | Ternary Data

Perfect for those interested in getting into data engineering, this talk covers the key questions you should answer when embarking on a data engineering career. Joe Reis addresses the current economic climate in 2023 in particular.

Beyond Monitoring: The Rise of Data Observability

Shane Murray Field | CTO | Monte Carlo

This session addresses the problem of “data downtime” — periods of time when data is partial, erroneous, missing or otherwise inaccurate — and how to eliminate it in your data ecosystem with end-to-end data observability. It will cover why data observability matters and the tactics you can use to address it today.
