Attending this event felt like I needed the ability to teleport between sessions, given the wealth of knowledge shared by industry leaders. Here are some highlights: 

John O’Brien presented on ‘Data Architecture in the Era of AI’ and ‘Active Metadata for Data Fabric: Delivering Data Quality, Observability, and Trust’. His insights very much align with the infoVia Way, emphasizing the importance of robust data architecture and active metadata in ensuring data quality and trust. 

Mark Madsen delivered a compelling session on ‘Delivering Data Faster: Innovations in Integration Tools’. Afterward, we had an engaging discussion about best practices and architecture, with a consensus on the future of data and AI. We agreed on the critical need for speed that data automation tools can deliver, provided they are implemented correctly. 

Amie Richards spoke about ‘Data Monetization: Creating New Data-Driven Value Streams’, which aligns perfectly with InfoVia’s value-driven method for rapid data ROI. Her session highlighted innovative ways to create new value streams from data. 

Laura Madsen was present at both TDWI and DMZ, discussing disruptive data governance. Her sessions underscored the importance of governance in producing data for good, a crucial aspect of modern data management. 

I left the event with a renewed confidence in the infoVia Way. Leveraging metadata and patterns to rapidly deliver lasting and secure data products is not only valuable but also novel. This approach promises to drive significant advancements in the field of data management.
