Powertalks
Join up to ten different discussion groups, workshops or presentations to network with your peers.
Roundtable Sessions
The roundtables are designed to spark discussion and inspire new approaches to data-driven practices.
By providing an open and moderated forum, these sessions shift the focus from a single speaker to the collective intelligence and experience of the group.
Key focus areas include benchmarking internal strategies, collaboratively solving shared problems, and stress-testing new ideas with fellow practitioners.
Participants leave with validated approaches for their own roadmap, diverse perspectives on complex issues, and a trusted network of peers.
Workshops
Smart workshops offer a structured framework for building a sustainable data-driven culture within organizations.
Combining theory, practical tools, and consultancy approaches, these interactive sessions guide participants in developing a tailored action plan.
Key focus areas include fostering data literacy, aligning data with organizational values, and overcoming cultural barriers.
Participants leave with concrete steps to drive data engagement and alignment at every level.
Use Case & Technical Presentations
These presentations are designed to deliver expert-led deep dives into proven strategies and their practical implementation.
Focusing on real-world success stories, these sessions provide attendees with actionable insights and hands-on knowledge from experienced practitioners.
Participants leave with a clear blueprint for action, an understanding of proven solutions, and the technical confidence to advance their own projects.
Coffeecorner Talks & Blind Dating
This format is designed to foster unstructured dialogue and build a strong peer-to-peer support network.
Moving beyond formal presentations, this session combines the power of spontaneous conversations with curated one-on-one meetings based on shared interests or challenges.
Participants leave with valuable new contacts, actionable advice, and a renewed perspective on their own data culture initiatives.
