This year, IMPACT will also feature data architects from some of the industry’s best data teams including Roche, Checkout.com, Vox, Auto Trader UK, and others.
Launched last year as the world’s first-ever data observability event, IMPACT brought thousands of data professionals together to engage with some of the data industry’s most defining technologies and approaches, including cloud data warehouses, the lakehouse, Apache Airflow, event streaming, and the data mesh.
“Over the past 12 months, our space has evolved at an unprecedented pace, with technologies, architectures, and team structures adapting to meet the needs of the modern, data-driven business. That's why we are bringing together some of the best minds in data to help teams understand how they can take advantage of these trends and bring their data reliability to new heights,” said Barr Moses, CEO and co-founder of Monte Carlo. “I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Kahneman, Silver, Ghodsi, Dehghani, and other data industry pioneers to speak to these topics and many more at IMPACT this year!”
While the talks themselves will be virtual and free to the public, Monte Carlo will also host in-person viewing parties in San Francisco, New York City, and London. These events will bring regional data leaders together for an evening of networking, discussions, and workshops related to building more reliable and scalable data organizations.
Event sponsors include dbt Labs, Fivetran, Dremio, Hightouch, Starburst, Census, DataOps.live, and Snowplow Analytics.
