Why Streamlit is the Missing Piece in Your Analytics Stack

Ever found yourself wrestling with Power BI limitations or implementing complex workarounds for what should be simple user requests? Enter Streamlit – the open source Python package that's transforming how we deliver value from data.

In this session, you'll discover how Streamlit enables you to build beautiful, interactive data applications in minutes, not months, all without front-end development expertise. We'll showcase real-world applications we've built for clients that let users manipulate model parameters and instantly visualise impacts, delivering a level of engagement traditional BI tools simply can't match.

By the end of this talk, you'll have everything you need to create your first Streamlit app, along with practical guidance for taking your prototypes from desktop to Azure deployment.

See first hand how this transformative technology is helping organisations move users from passive dashboard consumers to active participants in the data experience.

🎯 Target Audience

• Data analysts and BI developers frustrated with traditional tools
• Python developers and data scientists building interactive apps
• Consultants delivering data solutions to clients
• Organisations seeking better data engagement and insights
• IT professionals deploying apps (e.g. to Azure)
