Hello PyData People! We are excited to announce our next event of 2026! This time, we will be hosted at Generali Italia’s Torre Generali in Milan for an evening dedicated to open data, data platform orchestration, and scalable data engineering. 📅 When: Thursday, May 19th, 2026 – 18:30–21:00 📍 Where: Torre Generali Italia, Milan ⚠️ Important: Spots are limited. Please keep your RSVP updated to allow others to participate if you can no longer attend. *** **🕒 Agenda** 18:30 – Doors open & check-in 19:00 – Talk 1: Democratizing Data: A deep dive into Eurostat Open Database – Simona Mazzarino 19:45 – Talk 2: Scaling Data Mesh Orchestration with Dagster: Platform-Driven DAGs without Platform Friction – Marco Santoni and Andrea Romeo 20:30 – Networking & Social Dinner *** **🎤 The Talks** **1️⃣ Democratizing Data: A deep dive into Eurostat Open Database** Speaker: Simona Mazzarino (Data Scientist @ Clearbox AI) In this talk, we explore how to turn open data into actionable insights. You will learn how to navigate Eurostat, the EU’s vast statistical database, and use Python tools to fetch and process data for research, AI, and real-world analysis. We will look at how to discover relevant datasets, work with Eurostat’s interface and APIs, and integrate public statistics into your workflows for visualizations, dashboards, and models. A guiding example will be the analysis of migration flows across European countries, from data discovery to a usable dataset for analytics or machine learning. About the Speaker: Simona Mazzarino is a Data Scientist at Clearbox AI. With a background in linguistics, semiotics, and artificial intelligence, she specializes in language technologies. She is an active volunteer in the Python Torino community, where she helps connect people interested in Python applications, and she also volunteers for PyCon Italia. *** **2️⃣ Scaling Data Mesh Orchestration with Dagster: Platform-Driven DAGs without Platform Friction** Speakers: Andrea Romeo, Platform Engineer @ TeamSystem Data Mesh promises scalability and autonomy, but orchestration often becomes the hidden bottleneck: as data products grow, cross-domain dependencies explode, DAGs become fragile, and upstream teams are forced to react to every new consumer. In this talk, we present a platform-designed orchestration solution built on top of Dagster that enables company-wide orchestration without coupling data products together. Instead of requiring data engineers to manually define DAGs or modify upstream pipelines, each data product simply declares its dependencies on upstream output ports. From these declarations, the platform automatically builds and maintains the global DAG behind the scenes, ensuring that upstream data products remain unaffected by new consumers, orchestration scales as the number of data products grows, and platform standards are enforced without slowing down teams. We’ll walk through: * the orchestration challenges we faced when adopting data mesh at scale * how Dagster was extended and shaped into a platform abstraction, not exposed directly to product teams * the Python-based design patterns used to dynamically generate and evolve DAGs * the resulting developer experience for data engineers building data products This session is a practical, production-tested story of how Python and Dagster can be used to enable scalable orchestration in a real data mesh implementation — without turning the platform team into a bottleneck. About the Speakers: Andrea Romeo is a Platform Engineer at TeamSystem, where he focuses on building and evolving the technical foundation behind data infrastructure. He works closely with development and data teams to design scalable, resilient platforms that support data-driven products and services, with a strong focus on backend, cloud technologies, and developer experience. *** See you there!

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

It's a relaxed and refreshing evening at the **Porta Romana**, in a lovely **coworking space Open by Joivy**, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London, and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community. Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening. **House Rules:** * Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The place owners know we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily. * No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together. * Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation. Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

**🍻 SOCIAL DRINKING GAMES** Ice-breakers? Boring. We prefer cups, rules you’ll forget in 5 minutes, and instant friendships. Lose the game, take a sip. Win the game, take a sip anyway. ⋯⋯⋯ Ostello Bello Milano Centrale - Via Lepetit 33, Milano 🎫 Posti limitati. - Ingresso gratuito tramite registrazione Ti ricordiamo che nel corso dell’evento potranno essere effettuate delle riprese di immagini fotografiche e audio-video con diritti di utilizzo ad uso esclusivo del locale. www.ostellobello.com https://www.instagram.com/ostellobello.milanocentrale/

Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare? Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa. L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale. Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli. Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * There's a restroom along the route at [Tuttle Park Community Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTZJgLE1CrrbRNmJ7), which is about two‑thirds of the way from [Clinton-Como Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Cx8evwLiWundMe8) to our [turnback point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXk7qUVszLQ8EJxHA). * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
