Conceptual Data Modeling: The Blueprint for Better Data Systems

Conceptual data models provide the foundation for business architecture, analytics, machine learning, and more. Yet few companies invest the time to create one—and even fewer enforce it. The result? Siloed systems, mounting tech debt, and costly migrations.
In this session, we’ll:

• Define what a conceptual data model is and why it matters
• Show how it enables more efficient and aligned business operations
• Walk through a live demo of building a conceptual model from scratch

Whether you're designing your first data platform or modernizing legacy systems, this talk will give you practical tools to bring clarity and structure to your data architecture.
