Title: Some Like it Hot: Choosing a System for Large-Scale Data Analysis

Presentation Overview:
Apache Druid is a modern cloud-native, stream-native, analytics database designed for workflows where fast queries and instant ingest are important. Druid excels at instant data visibility, ad-hoc queries, operational analytics, and handling high concurrency. It is a strong candidate for being the workhorse system for hot analytics.

There is no shortage of systems that claim to help with the analysis of large amounts of data. Under the hood, today's popular systems have a variety of interesting and unique architectures. In this talk, we'll reflect on why you can never seem to find that single perfect system, and how to evaluate the capabilities of various systems through the prism of a temperature-based spectrum of use cases, from cold to hot analytics.

Title: Interplay of Data and AI, with the current state of Web3

Presentation Overview:
As we move forward with the blockchain revolution, and as companies like facebook summon the metaverse, it is only natural for curious souls like us to explore where and how Data and AI fit into this upcoming landscape. We are very early in this journey and I hope to share a few ideas that I would love to see develop into legitimate use cases.

A few things we may cover in the talk are (not limited to): Hybrid Smart Contracts, Data Assets as NFTs and ownership, and monetization of APIs on the blockchain.
