Data Behind the Scenes Conference

Aaaaand that's a wrap! Thanks everyone for joining. If you weren't able to attend today, no worries. We'll post here when the videos have made it to YouTube.

One awesome talk done, second one is on the wayyyyy!

Annnnnd we're off! Conference chat will take place in our Discord channel, so we'll see you there: bit.ly/databs-chat

T-minus 30 minutes till Data Behind the Scenes!

Hello data people, register for a whole day of interesting data talks at DataBS Conf. It's on Wednesday! I'm on at 4pm ET (9PM BST) talking about a failed data science project, the role of AI in our future, and some amateur philosophy. All in ~20 minutes. Tell your friends! #dataBS #datasky

Just twenty-four hours till my talk on why genAI is an instant-awesome switch for your business.* ( * == Or ... maybe not? You'll have to be there to find out.) There's still time to get your ticket! It's an online event, so you can watch it from home with your favorite mug of tea.

Just 24 hours* till go time! You can still get your tickets and watch #DataBS Conf live tomorrow, 24 September: DataBSConf.com * == more like 23.5 but, y'know ... rounding

Here is our updated link for the conference Discord! We'll update the website momentarily. bit.ly/databs-chat

I should probably put together my presentation this weekend. My talk motivation is based on that feeling you get when you discover you have been talked about by name in cabinet briefing papers, and what went on (from my perspective) for that to have happened.

Almost there! We're finalizing the #dataBS Conf schedule and will post it in another day or so. In the meantime, you can grab your ticket and see who's speaking: DataBSConf.com

Just four weeks till #dataBS Conference! Wednesday, 24 September. We'll unveil the list of speakers soon. In the meantime: have you snagged your ticket? databsconf.com

OK! I just sent out the #dataBS conference acceptance emails out to 14 people! I still have to pick out a selection of interesting proposals to invite to make pre-recorded talks, so if you didn't hear anything yet there is still a chance! Those will go out in a couple of days

We're still working on the program (lots of amazing submissions), but registration is now open! You'll find the link and other info on our website: databsconf.com

Now that the #dataBS conference speaker submission form has formally closed, the volunteer team has the uneviable job of having to go through the list of 36 talks and somehow stack ranking them

Aaaand that's it! Our call for speakers has closed. Huge thanks to everyone who submitted talk ideas. And now .... the wait. (Follow us here on Bluesky for updates.)

We've reached the final countdown: the #dataBS Conference call for speakers closes today! You have just a few hours left to share your story about what _really_ happens in data work: databsconf.com

We're in the home stretch, everyone! Just a couple more days to submit your talk proposal:

The #dataBS call for speakers closes 31 July. That's just a few days away! This is your chance to share your story about that creaky-yet-mission-critical data pipeline ... or your company's "AI" that's really three linear regressions in a trenchcoat ... Sign up here: bit.ly/dataBSconf-cfs

The weekend is here! Perfect time to submit your #dataBS talk. We want your lessons-learned stories from data work, everything from "my data pipeline: the unsung hero" to "how we got that AI system working" to "what we learned when it fell over." Details and sign-up: bit.ly/dataBSconf-cfs

Just two weeks left to submit your talk! (and/or or to convince your colleagues to submit theirs) Come for the talks, stay for the commiseration and catharsis. We grow as an industry when we learn (and scream) together.

Having a quiet Sunday? Perfect time to plan your Data Behind the Scenes talk. Knee-deep in a failed ETL job? Perfect time to plan your Data Behind the Scenes talk. Just convinced your team to replace that buggy genAI heap with simple software? Perfect time to plan your ...
