About us
Talk Data is a meetup for anyone who works with data; analysts, engineers, finance teams, operators, and leaders, to connect with others doing similar work.
There’s no set agenda, formal presentation or sales pitch. This is a space to meet people, share what you’re working on, swap ideas, and talk through the challenges that come with using data in the real world.
You’ll find others navigating the same questions: how to make data more useful, more trusted, and more actionable.
Hosted by Blue Margin, built for the broader data community. Come as you are, bring your perspective, and meet others who care about data.

Why AI Needs BI: What to Get Right Before You Roll Out LLMs WEBINAR
If you're being pitched AI analytics tools, or you're working out where AI fits in your reporting, this live session is for you.
Every AI tool you give your team answers questions from your company's data. When that data is spread across your ERP, CRM, and other systems, and your metrics are defined differently from report to report, AI hands back confident answers that don't match your dashboards. The same question asked twice can return two different numbers, and a wrong query often looks exactly like a right one, which makes errors hard to catch.
In this session, we make the case for BI as the foundation your AI runs on and walk through what that foundation looks like in practice.
What we'll cover:
- Why AI struggles with questions that span more than one system, and what it takes to integrate your data so it can answer them.
- How to define your metrics once and put that business context where AI reads it, so AI and your dashboards report the same numbers.
- How BI and AI work together, with governed dashboards running your routine reporting while AI takes on exploratory questions.
- What vendor pitches like "just point it at your data" assume about your environment, and how to tell whether those assumptions hold for you.
- Six questions to ask any vendor before you sign.
Who should attend:
CFOs, COOs, operating partners, and data leaders at mid-market and PE-backed companies who want AI to give answers they can trust.
Join us live on Tuesday, November 17 at 12 PM EST / 9 AM PST. Click Notify me to get a reminder, and bring your questions for the live Q&A.
About Blue Margin:
We help mid-market and PE-backed companies build the data foundation that reporting and AI both depend on, from integrating source systems to modeling metrics to managing your BI environment over time.
