Data & Analytics Events in Europe

We skipped a July meetup, so let's make up for it with a summer social at Thirsty Scholar. They've got both outdoor and indoor seating, so we'll pick based on weather.

No sponsor this time, so drinks are on your own tab.

No talks scheduled – but we will run the PyData Helsinki quiz! And let's have a group discussion on how to find sponsors and venues.

Tallinn Data Community is inviting you to a casual networking event for a second time on the topic of data and AI! No presentations, no agenda, just cool attendees, data-related conversations and good vibes. Last time was a smashing success, so don't miss out this time!

Join us at the Humalakoda restobar in the heart of Telliskivi to meet the data community of Tallinn with drinks & snacks and make new connections! The agenda is simple:
- come have a seat
- talk with who you want, and who knows, that might open a door for you, or open doors for others!

(Note that food & drinks are not provided. You can order whatever you wish from the bar; it's up to you. Please pay your bill before leaving!)

Where: Humalakoda Pub Restaurant Brewery (Kopli tn 1, 10412 Tallinn)
When: 19:00-22:00, 04.08.2026 (August 4th 2026)

See you there!

This session explains how Data Agents function inside Microsoft Fabric and how they support data connectivity, orchestration, and automated actions. You will see the main building blocks that enable these agents and walk through a practical setup of an agent in Fabric. We will also make a brief comparison between Fabric Data Agents and other comparable tools, outlining similarities, differences, and where each option is most suitable.

What to expect:
We'll kick off with quick intros (who you are, what you work on, what you're nerding out about lately), then open the floor for lightning shares 5–10 minutes,
totally informal, no slides needed.

Tell us about the model you shipped, the tool you're testing, the pipeline that fell over at 2am.

Then we wrap with open discussion and networking.

This session's theme: LLMs & AI tools in real data workflows. Using Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot in your day-to-day? Experimenting with MCP servers, RAG, or AI-assisted analytics?
Come share what's hype vs. what's actually useful.

Who should come: Anyone working with data science, models , ML engineering , MLOps in any industry retail, healthcare, finance, food distribution, logistics, tech. Junior or senior, all welcome.

Most data organisations run complex platforms with three to five separate databases and a lot of data movement: transactional database, data warehouse, streaming layer, vector store, maybe a feature store for AI. Each with its own budget, its own team, and its own renewal negotiation. The conventional wisdom is that this is necessary. The technology has moved past that assumption, and the economics have moved with it. Compound this with Sovereignty concerns and it becomes difficult to see the simple solution.
This is a 90-minute breakfast session for data leaders who want to understand what's changed, what's now easy, and what it means for their next platform decision.

What you'll see
A live demo of a single open-source platform handling transactional, analytical, and AI workloads on the same dataset. No data duplication. No ETL pipelines. Strict ACID consistency across the entire platform. Built entirely from Apache-licensed open-source components.

Cost comparison
How this approach runs 80%+ cheaper at petabyte scale than a Postgres + ETL + Snowflake or Databricks stack, with the cost model documented and auditable. Every enterprise has different architectural needs and we'll demonstrate how to model costs comparisons against your needs.

What you'll take away
A clear picture of what open-source data infrastructure can do in 2026 that it couldn't three years ago, and a framework for evaluating whether your current platform architecture is the right long-term bet, or whether you're paying a complexity tax that's no longer necessary. Whether you're committed to Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery, this session gives you the context to pressure-test that commitment with real numbers.

Who this is for

• CDOs and Heads of Data evaluating platform consolidation.
• CTOs assessing long-term vendor risk.
• Solution architects and data platform leads who want the technical reality before recommending a direction.
• If you are responsible for a data-platform budget and wondering whether it should be smaller, this breakfast session is for you.

Free for DND members. Limited seats. Breakfast is sponsored by IBM.
