⭐️ Omar Bachet

Abstract: Metadata is often treated as documentation or a feature of the data catalog—but its real value emerges when it powers the way data is discovered, governed, and operated. This talk explores how to treat metadata as infrastructure for data products: capturing it across pipelines and domain teams, keeping it trustworthy, and connecting it to practical workflows for access management, lineage, quality, and change notification. The goal: make metadata useful not just to people browsing a catalog, but to the systems and teams that build and use data every day.
Second Speaker:
⭐️ MeiJu Huang

Abstract: Software engineers build incredible, complex products—yet great technical ideas often get stuck in translation when communicated to business stakeholders. When technical value isn't framed in terms of strategy, ROI, or business goals, projects risk losing budget, momentum, and internal support. In this talk, Mei Ju —a former Cyber Security Senior Consultant —bridges the gap between deep tech and executive decision-making. Drawing from three real-world scenarios across management consulting at Deloitte, corporate strategy at OTTO, and navigating the tech space as a woman with an immigrant background as founder and CEO in health tech, she shares how to strategically frame technical work, navigate pushback, and build authority.
