The world of data is changing, and fast. No longer confined to siloed roles or isolated departments, modern data teams are now at the heart of strategic decision-making across every industry. They’re expected not only to collect and clean data but to interpret, build, deploy, and align their work with real business outcomes.
This evolution is creating a new type of professional: the modern data maker - someone who blends deep technical skills with product thinking, communication, and collaboration. And there’s one place where this transformation is being shaped and celebrated: Data Makers Fest.
Data Is Now a Team Sport
Gone are the days when data engineers, analysts, and scientists worked in isolation. Today’s most successful teams are cross-functional by design, pairing data modelers with business stakeholders, machine learning engineers with product managers, and analysts with decision-makers.
This multidisciplinary approach requires:
- Shared language across roles
- Stronger data storytelling
- A deep understanding of both infrastructure and impact
It also demands that professionals stay continuously ahead of the curve in tools, ethics, architecture, and AI innovation. That’s where Data Makers Fest stands out.
The Festival That Reflects the Modern Data Landscape
At its core, Data Makers Fest isn’t just a conference, it’s a festival built for the evolving needs of today’s data professionals. Whether you're a senior engineer deploying real-time pipelines, a data scientist fine-tuning models, or a product leader aligning AI with user needs, this event has content designed for you.
What Makes It Different?
- Role-spanning sessions: From Generative AI to explainability, infrastructure, and team management - sessions are curated to reflect real-world challenges.
- Learning by doing: Hands-on tutorials offer opportunities to explore tools and workflows directly, great for upskilling and cross-training.
- Community of peers: Connect with hundreds of professionals solving the same problems in different ways. Learn from each other. Grow together.
Upskilling for What Comes Next
With data platforms modernizing rapidly and AI capabilities expanding by the day, continuous learning is no longer optional, it’s essential. Data Makers Fest helps bridge the gap between what professionals know now and what they’ll need to lead in the future.
This includes:
- Understanding Responsible AI and the ethics shaping deployment decisions
- Learning to work with streaming data and real-time insights
- Building cross-role fluency for better product alignment
- Navigating the increasingly complex AI tooling ecosystem
From Speaker to Team Builder: Real Stories of Growth
At past editions, the festival has welcomed industry leaders from Microsoft, Booking.com, Adidas, AstraZeneca, and more, sharing lessons not just in technical excellence but in team leadership, collaboration, and scale.
These stories matter. Because behind every great model or system is a great team, and Data Makers Fest shines a light on how those teams work, grow, and succeed.
A Festival That Grows With You
Now entering its third edition, Data Makers Fest continues to expand with more speakers, more companies, more tools, and more future-facing topics. As teams become more hybrid, global, and interdisciplinary, the festival adapts to reflect that reality.
It’s not just about what you learn in the room, it’s about the conversations in between, the connections made, and the ideas sparked when specialists come together to think like strategists.
Join the Movement
If you're a data professional ready to grow beyond your current role, build better teams, and lead with confidence, Data Makers Fest is where it starts.
Come for the content. Stay for the community. Leave with the skills, insights, and network to become the kind of data leader the future demands.
