🚀 What is State of Data?
State of Data is our flagship annual event dedicated to bringing the data community together around the key challenges, innovations, and strategies shaping the future of data.
Each year, we bring data leaders, engineers, architects, and innovators together to share real-world experiences, learn from industry experts, and stay ahead of the ever-evolving data landscape.
With two successful editions already behind us, we’re just getting started — and State of Data 2026 is already in the works!
