After a long break, Data Engineering London is back!
Join us for our post-summer meetup: an evening of talks, lively discussion, and networking with one of London’s biggest data engineering communities.
In this edition, we’ll explore the growing relationship between Storage & AI. We’ll look at how the rapidly changing AI landscape is influencing data storage, and how new approaches can enable better scalability, lower costs, and faster, more efficient access to data.
The evening will feature two talks followed by a panel discussion, with plenty of time to meet other attendees, exchange ideas, and continue the conversation over food and drinks.
This event is generously sponsored by Altinity, whose team will also be joining us on the night. Be sure to say hello and learn more about their work.
*Schedule* 18:00–19:00 Networking, with food and drinks provided by Altinity 19:00–20:30 Talks and panel discussion 20:30–21:00 More networking
*Venue* London Art Bar 300 High Holborn, London
*Speakers and Talks* Talk: There's a great future in storage: building analytic systems to hold data for AI ([Robert Hodges](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berkeleybob2105/), CEO @ Altinity) Remember the famous movie line, "There's a great future in plastics?" Maybe not! You probably weren't born when The Graduate came out. We'll riff on the meme, because AI is making developers care *a lot* about storage in analytic databases: how it's arranged, who can access it, how much it costs, and how you can scale up performance. We cover the standard models: from hot data on SSDs to frozen data in lakehouses. You'll learn the practical trade-offs and get ideas how to apply each model to help AI apps run successfully.
Remaining talks TBC!
