But here’s where it gets truly compelling: these sessions don’t just present what’s new; they reveal how to implement and scale these innovations in real organizations, often with live demonstrations and practitioner-led guidance. And this is the part most people miss—how open formats like Iceberg and Parquet translate into tangible performance gains and cost benefits in your own data environment.
Controversy and conversation starters
- Will the push toward Data Mesh and Data Fabric blur responsibilities between teams, or empower them with clearer, more scalable ownership?
- Do open table formats truly deliver sustained cost savings, or do they introduce new complexities that offset benefits in certain setups?
