The DAB Conf is a free international technical conference dedicated to the latest innovations in Microsoft data platform and AI.

The event brings together developers, data engineers, data scientists, architects, analytics professionals, and technology leaders who want to explore how modern data platforms and artificial intelligence are changing the way digital solutions are designed and built.

Attendees can expect technical sessions delivered by internationally recognized speakers, practical demonstrations, real-world use cases, and insights into the latest developments across the modern data and AI platform landscape.

The conference will cover topics such as data engineering, analytics, modern data platforms, business intelligence, cloud data architectures, machine learning, generative AI, AI agents, and AI-assisted development.

By attending, participants will have the opportunity to:

• learn directly from experienced Microsoft professionals and community experts;
• discover new technologies, tools, and architectural approaches;
• see practical examples that can be applied to real projects;
• exchange ideas and experiences with other data and AI professionals;
• connect with speakers, community members, and technology enthusiasts;
• gain inspiration for building the next generation of data-driven and AI-powered solutions.

Data & AI Builders Conference is more than a series of technical sessions. It is a meeting point for people who want to learn, share knowledge, and actively contribute to the future of data, AI, and digital transformation.

Do you have small data tools that you run locally on your laptop? We'd love to hear about them! Or are you curious about small tools that others are using? Here are two of our favorites. If you missed the online sessions on them earlier, we'd be happy to show you in person this time.

• Small Language Models: https://correlaid.org/veranstaltungen/community_ws_SLM_june
• DuckDB: https://www.meetup.com/correlaid-cologne/events/311690617/

We are inspired by the book Small is Beautiful by E. F. Schumacher proposing small, human-scale, appropriate technologies. These ideas are even more relevant for today. The World Bank, for example, is urging developing countries to kickstart the creation of “small AI” models to reap the benefits of artificial intelligence. NVIDIA says Small Language Models are the Future of Agentic AI. Harvard restructures its archives from big servers to files searchable using DuckDB running inside a user's browser.

We are the Cologne Chapter of CorrelAid, covering Bonn, Cologne and Düsseldorf areas. Come, have a chat, and get to know us!

Everyone talks about AI and data-driven transformation.
But what does it actually look like in practice?
That's exactly what we want to explore at Palantir Conference 0.1, which we're organizing together with @Swiss Re in Bratislava on November 10.
No generic AI hype or endless theoretical discussions. We're bringing together people who work with Palantir and AI to share real experiences, practical approaches, and lessons learned.
What can you expect?
🟢Real-world Palantir use cases – Get a closer look at how Palantir Foundry is being used at Swiss Re.
🟢AI that solves actual problems – Explore how AI can help turn complex, chaotic processes into more efficient and manageable workflows.
🟢Conversations with people who build – Meet fellow Palantir practitioners, data engineers, and technology professionals facing similar challenges.
I believe the most valuable insights come from sharing what actually works, what doesn't, and what we've learned along the way. That's the kind of conversation we want to create.
November 10 | 16:15–18:00 | Swiss Re, Bratislava
The event is free, and you can also join online. Onsite capacity is limited, so make sure to register.
Looking forward to meeting you there!

Abtrakt:
Vortrag: Fabric Planning: Unternehmensplanung inbegriffen?

Wie, jetzt soll man mit Fabric auch planen können, Daten eingeben und zurückschreiben, basierend auf dem semantischen Modell aus Power BI? Das ist allerdings eine Funktion, die Fachleute schon lange gefordert haben, und da hat Microsoft einfach eine Lösung gekauft und integriert. Aber wie sieht das aus, wie "integriert" sich das eigentlich mit Fabric, und was sind die Möglichkeiten? Nach diesem demo-reichen Vortrag seid ihr schlauer, ob Fabric Plan wirklich schon für eine prozessbasierte Finanzplanung im Unternehmen tauglich ist.

En el mundo real —y especialmente en ecología y biología— los datos casi nunca siguen una distribución normal perfecta. Conteos de especies, presencias/ausencias o proporciones suelen romper los supuestos de los modelos lineales tradicionales (LM).

En este taller teórico-práctico, la Dra. Marisol Martínez Ramos nos llevará de la mano para entender e implementar los Modelos Lineales Generalizados (GLM) en R de una manera accesible, intuitiva y aplicada a problemas ecológicos.

Roam the research, talk to the authors, grab a drink.

Ever wish tech meetups had fewer passive slide decks and more real, high-bandwidth technical conversations?

Join us at the Vinted office for an academic-style Poster Session!
At Vinted, our Data Science & Analytics (DSA) guild regularly runs internal poster conferences where teams put their methodologies, experiment designs, model architectures, and hard-learned failures on display. For the first time, we are opening our doors to the local data community to share that experience with you.

Grab a cold drink, pick up some snacks, and spend two hours exploring real engineering and data science challenges behind a platform serving millions of members across Europe and beyond.

What to Expect (How It Works)
If you have never attended an academic poster session, don't worry—it’s designed to be much more engaging and informal than a traditional meetup:

• 🗺️ Choose Your Own Adventure: The room will be organised into thematic poster stations (Experimentation & Causal Inference, Analytics Engineering etc.)
• 🗣️ Direct 1-on-1 & Small Group Chats: Instead of sitting silently in an auditorium, you walk around at your own pace. Walk up to any poster that catches your eye, chat directly with those who built it!
• 🍕 Casual & Social: Great food, drinks, and plenty of space to catch up with peers from across the tech community.

Event Agenda (2.5 hours)

• 17:00 – 17:20 | Doors Open, Welcome Drinks & Bites
  Arrive, grab a drink and food, collect your badge, and get settled in.
• 17:20 – 17:35 (15 min) | Welcome & Opening Remarks
  A brief introduction to the Vinted Data Science & Analytics organisation, how our domains work, and how to navigate the poster session floor.
• 17:35 – 19:05 (90 min) | The Poster Session
  Open floor! Roam around the stations, dive into the research, watch live demos, and chat with the poster presenters.
• 19:05 – 19:30 (25 min) | Wrap-Up & Open Networking
  Final thoughts, raffle/voting for favorite poster.

Sign up for OpenMetadata Office Hours to chat with product experts and the open source community for any questions you have on OpenMetadata! 👨‍💻👩‍💻

• 🙋 Ask support questions and get help from engineers
• 🔧 Get advice setting up data connectors and deploying services
• 💡 Talk through your use cases and feature requests

Join us and level up your skills on the fastest growing open source platform for unified data discovery, observability, and governance! 🚀

Universities sit on huge amounts of data, but turning it into something departments can use is a different challenge. How do you build an analytics foundation for an institution with many departments, different needs and very different levels of data maturity?

In this roundtable, we open the books on a real-world example: the analytics and data stack we built together with ETH Zurich. We’ll walk you through:

• The foundation: the data setup we started with, and why
• The evolution: the extensions we added along the way
• The people side: how we trained the different departments to work with the data
• The road ahead: how data is used today, and how ETH wants to use it in the future

Expect an honest, practical look at a real project, with plenty of room for your questions and your own experiences. Whether you’re just starting to rethink your institution’s data setup or want to get more out of the one you have, you’ll leave with ideas to take back to your team.

The Analytics Roundtable will take place in Zurich, Heinrichstrasse 267A. And as always, there will be complementary drinks and snacks.

Hello everyone, been a minute, time for another meetup!

Building AI Data Agents on Microsoft Fabric
Whether you're an analyst, engineer, architect or manager, or just getting started, this session is for anyone who wants to move from reports to AI agents that answer real business questions with trusted data.
We'll work through a real-world use case: a services organisation (financial services in our example, but it applies to any people-based business). We'll use AI Data Agents to help drive sales, improve employee utilisation and track KPIs.

🔧 What we'll cover:
Architecting Microsoft Fabric workspaces for AI use cases

• Control, data and domain workspaces: where the pipelines, the data and the agents live

The data layer and modelling for AI

• Extracting from HubSpot (CRM), project management software and time recording systems
• Kimball modelling: dimensions, facts and user-friendly views

Building the AI Data Agent, and automating the prep

• What an agent needs: a semantic model with clear relationships, measures and descriptions, plus Prep for AI
• Automating that metadata from your control database, so every table and column arrives with business-friendly descriptions the agent can use
• Building, testing and trusting the agent's answers

📅 Wednesday, 11th November 2026 | 5:30–7:30 PM
📍 Ormeau Labs, Belfast
🍕 Pizza, drinks & good chat as always
🔗 RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/belfast-microsoft-fabric-power-bi-meetup/

Please like, share, tag your team — and bring your questions! 🙌

Meetup Database à Gland, chez Swissquote, jeudi 12 Novembre. Nous aurons deux présentations et un apéro:

17:30 - Ouverture des portes
17:45 - Infos générales
18:00 - Début des talks (PostgreSQL sur Kubernetes par Laurent Parodi, et Multi-Version Concurrency Control par Louis Tochon)
19:30 - Quiz / Apéro / networking

Merci à Swissquote pour l'hébergement et à dbi services pour l'apéro
Accès: à 2 minutes de la gare de gland, parking voiture à côté

Détail des présentations de Laurent et Louis:

• 18:00 Sovereign PostgreSQL on Kubernetes in a Global Bank: What We Built with CloudNativePG par Laurent Parodi (HSBC)
  How do you run PostgreSQL as a self-service platform in a regulated bank, with no public cloud dependency and no lock-in? Laurent Parodi shares the vision behind a sovereign, Kubernetes-native DBaaS, and walks through the challenges a bank brings and the answers the team found using CloudNativePG
• 18:45 The price of read consistency: how MVCC keeps your old versions in SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle par Louis Tochon (dbi services)
  While SQL Server’s default isolation level prevents dirty reads, it can lead to concurrency issues like blocking and deadlocks. To explore how to overcome these limitations, this presentation provides a technical state of the art comparing SQL Server's Row Versioning with PostgreSQL and Oracle's MVCC frameworks. Together, we will analyze how each database engine uniquely implements non-blocking reads and the different architectural paths they chose to achieve it.

Data Meets Dev: How cross‑functional collaboration has changed my work forever

Fiona Pye. Senior Data Analyst, AutoTrader UK

I have spent the last two years as a Data Scientist/Analyst embedded in a backend development team. There is so much I have learnt from them: ways of thinking, collaboration, design and coding methods which have changed my approach and perspective on analytics work. In return, they have a richer understanding of the data they are handling and producing and its implications on the wider business. We are all the richer for it, and I want to share my experience as I think this is special, important and useful for others to hear about.

Seeing and Believing: How AI Decides Which Brands Get Discovered

Jonas Almesri, Co-Founder, GenSight.AI

The disappearing click: discovery is no longer a page of links a human scans but a single AI-written answer with a few names in it. "How do we get found?" has become "does the machine recommend us?" AI Visibility and GEO focus on presence, recommendation, and citation as three distinct outcomes. GenSight.AI Research explores how LLMs see, believe, cite and recommend, and the shift ahead as AI agents move from recommending to buying. We will also explore the frontier problems we are working on, including measuring people vs companies as different objects, product-level vs brand-level visibility, and the cold-start problem of measuring a market a brand has never entered, and how all of these lend to different marketing strategies.

--- Schedule & Refreshments ---
Now, refreshments! Drinks and nibbles will be served from 6pm. Talks will commence at 6:30pm/6:45pm and the event will conclude at 8pm. The conversation will continue after the event at a local pub.

--- Sponsorship Information ---
Our event relies heavily on sponsorship from companies that attend. Please contact the organisers or [admin@datacove.co.uk](https://datacove.co.uk/) to get involved.

"What Enterprise AI Product Teams Learn After the Demo"
The hardest part of enterprise AI begins after the prototype works. Product teams must decide what evidence is good enough, where human review belongs, how access and governance should work, and whether users are actually
changing the workflow. This talk presents a field tested product lens for that transition. It combines use case
selection, evaluation, operating design and adoption into one decision system. The session is designed for a
practitioner audience and uses concrete product examples rather than broad AI predictions.

What attendees will take away:
1. A checklist for moving an AI prototype toward production
2. A method for balancing quality, risk, and speed
3. An adoption scorecard that focuses on changed work, not novelty

Speakers

1. Irene Amadi is a Data Engineer at Accenture. She designs and monitors production-scale machine learning pipelines and large-scale data systems.
   Before moving into engineering, she built a career in broadcast journalism, mental health, and business analysis.
   Talk title From Care Plans to Data Pipelines: A Non-Linear Path into Data Engineering in an AI Driven world.
   Talk abstract: In this talk, she shares her journey into tech as a career changer, moving from working as a Registered Mental Health Nurse in Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to building and supporting modern data platforms. She reflects on what it means to find your place in a rapidly evolving, AI-shaped industry—especially when you come from a non-traditional background—and how prior experience can be channelled into being a secret advantage.
   This talk is for anyone trying to understand where they fit in the world of data and AI, particularly early career talent who are taking less conventional paths into the field, people supporting newcomers into the field, or those hiring talent into the field.

2. Lucy Tiffany is a data leader and coach in the public sector, spanning health and local government. She began her data career as a data inputter, progressing through a variety of technical roles before unexpectedly finding herself in leadership. Along the way, she discovered that people are an organisation’s greatest asset, and developing others quickly became a passion. Alongside her data career, Lucy coaches women to transform their lifestyles through nutrition and movement, helping them build confidence, challenge their thinking and take action towards what matters most to them.
   Talk title: The Power of Doing It Anyway
   Talk abstract: How often do we overthink, worry about what people will say or wait until we feel ready before doing something we really want to do? Drawing on over 20 years in NHS and local government data leadership, alongside her experience of changing her lifestyle and building a coaching business, Lucy challenges the idea that success has to follow a set path. With honesty and a no-nonsense approach, Lucy explores the pressure to meet expectations, the freedom of following what you love, and why you don't need a five-year plan to take your next step. Because you don't have to climb the career ladder just because it's there, have all the answers or make everyone else comfortable with your choices. Sometimes, you just need to know what's right for you right now — and have the courage to do it anyway.

3. Prevail Uzodinma is a technology professional and Founder and Chair of the BCS Student Chapter at the University of Greater Manchester. She currently works in application support at Magentus, a health technology company, and holds an MSc in Software Engineering. Through her work in technology and community building, she is passionate about bridging the gap between education and industry and helping people gain the exposure they need to explore career paths, recognise their strengths, and navigate the tech industry with greater confidence.
   Talk title: Database Forensics: When Production Data Fights Back
   Talk Abstract: We learn how databases should work in theory, but production systems rarely behave like textbook examples. What happens when a change that seems pretty straightforward gets blocked by the rules of a live system? In this practical talk, I'll share an anonymised troubleshooting scenario from my first few weeks in application support, where a routine change request ran into database constraints I had to understand before I could move forward.

You've decided to build a Fabric Lakehouse—now you need to design it correctly.
This session goes beyond Medallion theory to focus on the decisions that drive success:
•Proven architecture patterns (and common failures)
•Choosing between notebooks, pipelines, and warehouses
•Scaling governance without creating chaos
•Avoiding costly design mistakes
•When to use OneLake shortcuts and data mesh
Through real-world examples, you'll learn how to build a scalable Lakehouse, avoid common pitfalls, and know when to follow—or break—the rules.
Whether you're building your first Lakehouse or refining your fifth, you'll leave with practical design strategies that work.
