📅 **Tuesday, March 24, 2026** 📍 **AUT City Campus — Open Forum Room, Auckland**
DataEngBytes is back in Auckland! After an incredible 2024 event that brought together 126 passionate data professionals, the community asked us to return — and we're answering that call with an even bigger, more impactful day.

**What is DataEngBytes?**
DataEngBytes is Oceania's largest community-driven conference focused on practical data engineering, machine learning, and GenAI solutions. Run by data engineers, for data engineers — no sales pitches, no fluff, just real-world stories and hard-won lessons from practitioners who've been in the trenches.

**What to Expect**
Join 150+ data engineering and ML/AI professionals for a full day of deep technical talks, hands-on workshops, and quality networking. You'll hear from 10+ industry experts sharing practical insights on building scalable data platforms, ML pipelines, GenAI applications, and solving real-world data challenges.
This is a vendor-neutral event where the content comes first. Every talk is selected because it delivers genuine value to practitioners — not because a sponsor paid for a slot.

**Why Attend?**
🤝 Network with 150+ data engineering, ML, and AI professionals across New Zealand 🎓 Learn from experienced practitioners solving real problems at scale ⚙️ Get hands-on with cutting-edge tools and technologies in dedicated workshops 🚀 Advance your career with new skills, ideas, and connections 🌏 Be part of the largest data engineering community in Oceania (10,000+ subscribers and growing) 💡 Walk away with actionable solutions to your toughest data challenges

**Who Should Attend?**

**Speakers:**
🎤 Marta Paes, Senior Product Manager, ClickHouse
**Talk Title**: CDC ClickPipes: the fastest way to replicate your database to ClickHouse
**Talk Summary**: Tired of wrestling with complicated Change Data Capture (CDC) pipelines? Join us for a live, hands-on demo of ClickPipes, ClickHouse Cloud's managed ingestion platform that makes CDC pipelines straightforward, reliable, and cost-effective.

You'll learn how to:

* Stream real-time changes from **Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB** directly into ClickHouse in just a few clicks.
* Eliminate the overhead of managing external tools like Debezium or Fivetran.
* Accelerate analytics on your operational data without complex migrations or custom scripts.

Whether you're already using ClickHouse or evaluating it for the first time, you'll walk away with practical knowledge you can apply immediately to your existing architecture.
**Speaker Bio**: I've been working with data, big and small, for the last 10 years: first as a Data Engineer slogging through ETL pipelines and big migration projects; and then in Product-shaped roles helping build data streaming infrastructure (Apache Flink, Materialize). I'm currently a Product Manager at ClickHouse, focusing on our real-time data ingestion service.

🎤 Peter Hanssens, Principal Consultant, Cloud Shuttle
**Talk Title**: ClickStack-ing my clanker
**Talk Summary**: Earlier this year, I open-sourced drover:
https://github.com/cloud-shuttle/drover
As I was developing it, I found my app grinding to a halt with Out of Memory issues. The famous claude code memory leak issues. This lead me down a path of wanting better observability. Enter ClickStacks.
In this talk, Peter will take you through how he's setup an OTEL collector on fly.io and how he leverages clickstacks to stamp out memory issues.
**Bio:** Peter Hanssens is Principal Consultant at Cloud Shuttle, a data engineering consultancy based in Wollongong, and the organiser of DataEngBytes — Australia's largest data engineering community, running events across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. With six years building data platforms for clients across cloud and on-prem environments, Peter has a habit of diving deep into whatever new technology is causing a stir — and then explaining it to everyone else. When he's not running conferences or consulting on data infrastructure, he's probably shipping Rust crates, exploring agentic AI tools, or nerding out with fellow founders at Stone & Chalk in Tech Central.

Remember to bring along some great questions! See you all there...
