"What's Your Question?" - "Fireside Chat" With Padmaja Surendranath , CDMP

Is managing a data lake the largest big data challenge?

What is the difference between Data Manager? Data Scientist? Data Engineer?

Dealing with data growth and generating valuable insights is more complex now than ever.

One challenge for data professionals is that the lines between roles are blurring, while the need for depth and sophistication in specific areas remains in strong demand.

We will have a “Fireside chat” with Padmaja Surendranath, an opportunity to ask her questions directly and address our curiosity about all things data.

Agenda:

6:30 Doors open, networking, food , member introductions.

7:05 “What's Your Question?”

Our moderator for the evening, Steve Lowen, will ask Padmaja questions for the first half hour. The audience will then ask questions for the remaining half hour. Let’s work on making the conversation interactive and interesting.
