Each webinar is a mixture of presentations, discussions, demos and industry updates designed to bring our community together, making sure we stay informed and engaged, something particularly pertinent at present.

Event Driven becomes more mainstream as businesses want to make the most out of their data - the quicker you process data/events the more value they can get from data.
However event driven technologies can be hard to use - developers used to the world of  synchronous APIs struggle with the event driven paradigm, there are a plethora of protocols and technologies to consider.
In the webinar we discuss how to make event driven easy to adopt by citizen integrators and developers - as IPaaS vendors integrate Event Driven and a new wave of Async APIs is enhancing the API first approach.

How Event Driven is going mainstream with APIs and iPaaS

Power up your databases: Take data to the next level in real-time

Data Observability (DO) is an emerging category that helps data teams identify, resolve, and prevent data quality issues by continuously monitoring the state of their data over time. This webinar covers how DO emerged within modern data teams, and then how you can implement it in practice today.

In the first part, we’ll take a deep dive into data observability as a concept, starting from its historical origins (why it matters), defining the scope and components of DO (what it is), and wrapping up with actionable advice for putting observability into practice (how to do it).

After we establish a firm grasp of DO, we’ll walk through a demo of Metaplane, the only self-serve, developer-first DO platform. We’ll demonstrate how you can connect your data stack in less than 10 minutes, so that your team is the first to know of data quality issues — before your CMO pings you about a broken dashboard.

Speakers: 
Kevin Hu, Co-founder, Metaplane
Andy Steed, Content Director, Big Data LDN

Data Observability: From 1788 to 2032

When it comes to data analytics infrastructure, there are a wealth of options for storing and querying information. New technological approaches allow for more flexibility in cloud data management and are democratizing data for use across the organization. By stripping away data engineering complexity and lowering total cost of infrastructure ownership and maintenance, more and more organizations are unlocking the value of analytics at scale.

Even so, new terminology and overlapping functionality within different cloud data platforms can make the landscape difficult to navigate. In this session, we’ll dive into the latest approaches to analytics at scale and demystify them, so you can determine which is right for your organisation.

You’ll learn: 
● Key features, pros and cons associated with the data lake, lakehouse and mesh
● Where and how these modern approaches can coexist
● Questions you should ask to guide your organization’s data platform evaluation

Data Mesh 101: What it is & why you need it?

The past two years have changed more than where we go to eat; enterprise infrastructure has taken a massive leap forward as companies have front-loaded investment in order to be able to provide the infrastructure their employees and customers need, but there are still challenges. Some of those challenges arose because companies moved before they were ready, and some arose because they tried to move faster than they reasonably could.

In the end you have overwhelmed teams that are so busy trying to keep up with  infrastructure that they don't have time to innovate where they should -- creating value for your customers.

In either case, it's time to take stock and make sure that you've hyperscaled your data centre in the smartest, most efficient way possible -- preferably with a guaranteed outcome that will bring you where you need to go.

In this webinar, Mirantis Principle Solution Architect Daniel Virassamy helps you take a step back and make sure you're on the right track to hyperscaling your data centre properly. He'll discuss:

• Hyperscaling in a post-pandemic world
• Challenges of running an efficient data centre, such as cost and data management over multiple clouds
•	Strategies for optimizing your on-premise infrastructure
•	How to free up your development teams to innovate for your customers

Join us on 14th December and make sure you get the data centre outcome you’re shooting for.

Make the most of Data Governance

Shifts in consumer expectation means B2C brands are looking for ways to take advantage of the host of benefits that leveraging customer data can bring to their marketing including driving personalisation, insight and true omnichannel customer experience. Customer Data Platforms (CDP’s) are a technology layer that enables organisations to reach these goals and whilst CDP’s are a key centre-piece for a sound Martech stack investment and strategy, there are also other factors including interoperability, training, culture, resource amongst others that ultimately affect the ability for brands to extract the most value from the solution. For greater success in the future, it is critical that brands ensure their Martech stack can effectively identify prospects in the early stage of the sales cycle, prior to landing on owned media channels, by taking ownership of their first party data and developing the ability to measure acquisition across media in the cookieless world. Join David Keens, Vice President of Product at Acxiom EMEA & Diran George, Senior Solutions Consultant at Treasure Data to discover how brands can implement a best in class end-to-end acquisition solution across strategy, analytics and technology to deliver customer experience beyond imagination.
