From Data Lakes to Lakehouses

Join Kansas City's Data Science community on December 11 to hear Aaron Spiegel of Qbeast discuss "From Data Lakes to Lakehouses: Foundational Platforms for Analytics, Data Science & AI."

Modern organizations leverage data for everything from reporting and compliance to decision support, security, and AI.

As data grows, so do challenges of analyzing it. What works on a laptop may not scale to data that stretch across clusters or the cloud. Distributed architectures have emerged to scale sustainably—data warehouses, data lakes, and now Lakehouses.

This talk will highlight how these platforms evolved, why they matter, and how they enable today’s most critical and exciting workloads, from dashboards and business reporting to large language models and agentic workflows.
