🎤 Session Details: My Favourite ClickHouse Features
Tyler will delve into his favorite features of ClickHouse, demonstrating how they can be leveraged to optimize data processing and enhance analytical workflows. As a key takeaway, you’ll gain practical knowledge on how to harness ClickHouse’s capabilities for your own projects.

Speaker: Tyler Hannan, Senior Director, Developer Advocacy @ ClickHouse

With a career that has spanned the private and public sectors, large enterprises, consulting, and startups of varying success, he has maintained a focus on data persistence and analysis. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, called on to provide commentary about market trends impacting the design and deployment of database solutions and distributed systems.

🎤 Session Details: The JSON Game Changer
How the ClickHouse JSON removes the pain of schema management for disparate data sources at scale. We will cover the different approaches required to ingest and analyse data effectively at scale with ClickHouse and how the new JSON type improves time to delivery and efficiency by turning schema management on its head by letting you have your cake and eat it too.

Speaker: Derek Thoms, CTO @ HyperSec CyberSecurity
Derek Thoms has lived at-scale and big data since before the terms existed. He had end-to-end ownership of a number of nation level large-scale projects both commercially and for government. He enjoys sharing knowledge of how to do this for real and not simply in the lab or classroom.
