The Data & AI Evolution: From Legacy Warehouses to Intelligent Lakehouses

The Data & AI Evolution: From Legacy Warehouses to Intelligent Lakehouses

Thu, Apr 30, 7:30 AM
From Sydney Databricks User Group
4.5

With the current gold rush toward GenAI, it’s easy to feel like foundational data work has been pushed into the shadows. But the truth is simple: **there is no AI without reliable data.** This month, we’re going back to the core of the Data Intelligence Platform. We’ll explore why modern architectures and "flipped" migration strategies are the only ways to actually make AI work at scale - rather than just being an expensive experiment. **Talk 1: Data Lakes vs. Data Warehouses in the Age of AI** **Speaker:** **Rob Nordon**, Solutions Architect at Idea 11 AI is the word on everyone’s lips, but where does that leave the data professional? Have we become irrelevant? Rob will take us through a brief history of modern data to show how Data and AI work hand-in-hand. He’ll explain why embracing this intersection is the only way to deliver lasting competitive advantage to your organisation. **Talk 2: Migrating EDW to Databricks - Flipping the Script on ROI** **Speaker:** **Melance Nziza,** Senior Consultant - Data Engineer at Syenchron Australia The conventional "left-to-right" migration approach often leads to high costs and delayed value. Melance discusses why flipping the script - onboarding users to Databricks as early as possible - can de-risk your project and prove ROI before the first production pipeline is even finished. ### **Evening Agenda** * **5:30 PM:** Arrival, Networking, Pizza & Drinks 🍕 * **6:00 PM:** Community Kick-off & Talks * **7:00 PM:** Q&A & Open Networking A massive thank you to **Mantel** for their ongoing support and for hosting the community!
