The Data Journey: From Raw to Data Products

Happy New Year Sparklers!🎊🎊🎊

Get ready for an exciting gathering on Thursday, February 1st, where we'll bring our community together to dive into the data journey of some of Barcelona's top companies: Glovo, Holaluz, and Adevinta.

Join us and learn how these companies overcome the challenges of building reliable data pipelines: from ingesting data through several systems, to transforming and exposing useful data products. For this edition, each of the representatives will share their data journey insights in a 15-minute presentation, and we are going to end with a panel discussion about the importance of a robust data strategy implementation.

Whether you are a Data Engineer/Architect and find it challenging to uncover effective patterns for maximizing insights in your company, or if you're bootstrapping a team to transform your company into a data-driven powerhouse, this event is for you.

Come join us and discover the best solutions for extracting maximum value from your data. 📈

This event will be hosted by Qbeast, a data observability and lakehouse-building tool for enhanced data management. Special thanks for providing the venue and the food!! 🙂

We can't wait to see all of you there!
