The stage is yours: Explain your use-case, share your unique experience, and showcase your vision!

The applydata x Best Practices session is open to all industries and disciplines, with a common thread; it’s all about applying data. Whether you want to show us the details or the broader perspective, we’re looking forward to a wide range of technical sessions on data-related topics.

How does applying data create or improve your (data) product, service, process, or customer journey?

applydata x Data Mesh

Buzzword or real impact?

People in the area of data management could not get around hearing it in the past years: “Data Mesh” – the ultimate solution to deliver data impact at scale. The sociotechinical concept promises to address the main challenges of data management: data quality and time-to-market for large-scale organizations. However, implementing a Data Mesh can be challenging and requires significant cultural, organizational, and technological change.

In our „applydata x Data Mesh“ session we will discuss Data Mesh in practice. What were the biggest takeaways from implementing Data Mesh? What is the most critical aspect to align before attempting the transition to Data Mesh?

applydata x AI

OpenAI’s innovations last year even made grandma and grandpa talk about AI. The public loves this topic, as you can see Generative AI in every second newspaper or LinkedIn article.

Yes, AI will have an immersive impact on society, but today we invite you to take a wider look at AI, as it will find and has already found its way into many different areas of work (e.g., predictive maintenance, predictive shopping, personalization). In our “applydata x AI” session we will dig deeper into all forms of AI use cases, (of course, there is also room for GenAI here, too).

applydata x Sustainability

Sustainability is no longer an option, it’s a must.

Data analysis is a double-edged sword: On the one hand data is highly energy-consuming. On the other hand, data helps to manage sustainability (e.g., collecting data to make decisions that guide measurable and responsible business practices). Sustainability will move from being solely an external reporting requirement to being integrated into the internal processes of organizations in the wider context of ESG.

In our “applydata x Sustainability” session we will dig deeper into how data can realize impact for sustainability in organizations and discuss challenges and impediments connected to it.
