Our Events

We're Obsessed with Bringing Engineers & Founders Together

In addition to Data Council, we organize numerous global events annually, including Data Council, the world's largest independent full-stack data conference, and other opportunities like intimate invite-only founder dinners and meetups.

Participating in Data Council is a powerful opportunity for engineers to present their projects (often for the first time), for startups to come out of stealth & announce new features, and for founders to network with like-minds.
