This track is for you to share best practices, frameworks, processes, roles,
policies, and standards for data governance of structured and unstructured data
across clouds.


Technologies/Topic ideas: Data Governance, Multi-Cloud, Unity Catalog, Security,
Compliance, Privacy

DATA SHARING

Data sharing is accelerating innovation in the digital economy as enterprises
wish to easily and securely exchange data with their customers, partners,
suppliers and internal line of business to better collaborate and unlock value
from that data. Share best practices for making data available across data
platforms and clouds, methods to avoid replication and lock-in, and the
distribution of data products through marketplaces.


Technologies/Topic ideas: Sharing & Collaboration, Delta Sharing, Data
Cleanliness, Data Cleanrooms, Data Marketplace

DATA ENGINEERING

Modern data engineering is critical for enterprises seeking to optimize data
processing and reduce costs. Show how you use a combination of systems and

DATA STRATEGY

Implementing a successful data strategy is more complex than ever. Choosing a
data lakehouse platform is just the first step. True adoption requires a
thoughtful approach to people and processes. Share your experience and insights
on aligning goals, identifying the right use cases, organizing and enabling
teams, mitigating risk, and operating at scale to find more success with data,
analytics, and AI.




DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS

To help with your submission, our team has outlined guidelines and best
practices to reference when writing your proposal.

REQUIREMENTS

A maximum of 2 speakers will be accepted per presentation. You’ll need to
include the following information for each proposal:

 * Proposed title and presentation overview
 * Level of difficulty of your talk: Beginner (just getting started),
   Intermediate (familiar with concepts and implementations), and Advanced
   (expert)
 * Speaker(s): Biography, Headshot
 * Speaking sample (video or YouTube link). If you don’t have a speaking sample,
   please record yourself explaining your suggested topic.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL PROPOSAL

Help us understand why your presentation is the right one for Summit. Please
keep in mind that this event is for global data, analytics and AI professionals.
All presentations and supporting materials must be insightful and inclusive.
Here are some best practices to reference when writing your proposal: 

 * Give your proposal a simple and straightforward title.
 * Clearly outline the value and benefit your proposal will provide to other
   data practitioners. 
 * Make sure to provide original ideas with world scenarios and use cases. Get
   technical — show code snippets or some demonstration of working code.
 * Limit the scope of your proposal to one of the allotted timeframes (15
   minutes, 40 minutes or 90-minute deep dive).  
 * Keep your proposal free of product, marketing or sales pitch content —
   jargon-free will increase your chance of acceptance. 
 * Does your presentation have the participation of a woman, person of color, or
   member of another group often underrepresented at a tech conference?
   Diversity is one of the factors we seriously consider when reviewing
   proposals as we seek to broaden our speaker roster.
