Hi DESG Community, It's been a while since we last met on Sep 2025. So much has changed and AI agents has been the talk of the time for past 6 months. For this month, we have Chin Hwee who will talk about: ***Your Data is Late Again! Handling Late-Arriving Data in the Modern AI Data Stack*** *"When we say we are processing the "latest" data in the data warehouse, which timestamp are we referring to?* *Late-arriving data can happen due to operational and technical reasons that may require data corrections, posing challenges in ensuring timely and accurate reporting of point-in-time data that drive AI systems and decision-making. In this talk, I will be exploring approaches on how we can design data systems and history-preserving data models that can handle late-arriving data in the modern AI data stack."* **Expected agenda:** **6.30pm - 7.15pm** \- Registration\, Pizzas & Networking **7.15pm - 7.20pm** \- Introduction **7.20pm - 8:00pm** \- Talk by Chin Hwee **8.00pm – 8.30pm** \- Q&A **8.30pm –** End of event Hope to you all soon! Cheers! DESG

Hi Everyone, With Covid19 happening, there is still a limited participants for group events of up to 8 pax happening, so this just to keep the virtual skating together going. The Challenge is to skate as much as you can during this pandemic each week. And see how we rank on leaderboard of Strava. The ranking is arranged by most distances skated each week. Do join us through on Strava App below: Leaderboard updates on a weekly basis and resets every week (Mon to Sun) Join us at https://www.strava.com/clubs/freewheelers_sg (Kindly note that with specifically the Strava app, it is unable to cater for Inline skating option, so you will have list your tracking via run or ride for your ranking to show up in leaderboard. And this is the main challenge majority of skaters will be using.) Feel feel to contact Janice on Meetup if you need help with the apps to join us on these virtual skating challenges. You can also ask Janice for link to join a telegram group where impromptu small group skating events are frequently organized if you are looking for skating buddies. Special Note: Heard feedback from some Iphone users that trouble getting apps FOC. All these apps should be free. Please make sure you download the FREE VERSION. And please download the app, before you join via Challenge Links as the Challenge Links lead Iphone users to paid versions I think. Android Phones should be automatic directed to free version.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
