Tech Entrepreneurs

We have prepared another evening of BI and Data Analytics at [Trainline](https://www.thetrainline.com/), open to everyone. 🚨 **To attend, RSVP at** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/techfems-techtalks-unlocking-the-power-of-data-tickets-1982880387617). **This meetup does not accept RSVPs as we track attendance via Eventbrite** this time 🚨 **Agenda** 6:00 PM - Door opens and welcome 👋 6:30 PM - Talks Start 8:00 PM - Socializing & Networking with refreshments and snacks ⚠️ Make sure to **arrive before 6:30 PM**. No one can enter the building after that ⚠️ **🗣️Talks** 1️⃣ **From Chaos to Clarity: Building Your BI Platform** 🎙️ **[Viktoriia Kniazeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/viktoriia-kniazeva-106403161/)**, Technical Consultant at [Omnevo](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omnevo/) Many organizations accumulate multiple operational systems, each with its own data model, stack, and integration challenges — and BI often becomes an afterthought stitched on top. This session demonstrates how to design and implement a BI platform from scratch, unifying heterogeneous data sources into a reliable, scalable architecture. Based on hands-on experience with systems like Metabase, we examine patterns for creating clean data flows, ensuring trust, and building a foundation that analytics can grow on. Takeaways: • BI as Part of System Architecture: Why analytics needs to be architected—not improvised. • Data Flow Design: Structuring the path from operational systems to actionable insights. • What to prepare before starting a BI project — the key checks teams often forget 2️⃣ **Dashboards, Data, and “Did It Work?” at Grafana** 🎙️ **[Maria Dubinets](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-dubinets/)**, Senior Data Analyst at [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com). Grafana builds industry-leading tools for observing infrastructure — but how does an observability company observe its own products? This talk explores how Product Data Analytics and Experimentation are structured at Grafana, from high-volume event ingestion to statistically rigorous A/B testing. It will unpack how Grafana’s modern data stack — powered by RudderStack, BigQuery, dbt, Prefect, OpenMetadata, and Grafana itself — creates a scalable, governed, and trustworthy source of product truth. The session will then dive into one of Grafana’s most intricate live product experiments that just finished: testing whether automatically surfacing our Interactive Learning Plugin inside Grafana Cloud increases adoption of Synthetic Monitoring and IRM by moving users from Activation to Engagement. Attendees will see how the experiment was designed, sized, instrumented, and analyzed — and what was learned once the results came in. The talk concludes with a preview of the next onboarding experiment focused on improving Day 2–14 engagement for new Cloud users. What Attendees Will Learn • 🏗️ How Grafana structures its product data stack • 📊 How dashboards evolve into decision systems • 🧪 How product experiments are designed for rigor • 🚀 Case Study: The Interactive Learning Plugin Experiment **Event language:** * English (many attendees also speak Spanish and other languages). **Who can join?** * 👭 This event is open to everyone. * Whether you’re a student, job seeker, or tech professional, you’re welcome here! **Address** Trainline: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes\, 613\, Barcelona \| [https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2u1b8fqHjgFw7kJz9) **Venue Information:** * Wheelchair accessible. * NOT suitable for children. * If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, let our media team know. **More about TechFems:** * Discover more on our [Website](https://techfems.org) and join [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/techfems). * Please read our [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/). **PLEASE NOTE** By registering, you agree to the TechFems [Privacy Policy](https://techfems.org/privacy-policy/) and [Code of Conduct](https://techfems.org/codeofconduct/).
