Whether you’re a data engineer, Rustacean or Lakehouse enthusiast, bring your questions on how Rust is shaping the future of open table formats!

Simon + Denny - Unfiltered & Unscripted

2025-06-11
talk
Denny Lee (Databricks) , Simon Whiteley (Advancing Analytics)

Two industry veterans have been debating data architecture, tearing apart trends and tinkering with tech for decades and they’re bringing the conversation live — and you’re in control. Got a burning question about lake structures or internal performance? Worried about AI taking over the world? Want straight-talking opinions on the latest hype? Need real-world advice from the people who the experts get advice from? Want to get the juicy behind-the-scenes gossip about any announcements and shockwaves from the Keynotes? This is your chance to have your questions answered! Submit your questions ahead of time or bring them on the day — no topic is off-limits (though there's always a risk of side quests into coffee, sci-fi, or the quirks of English weather). Come for the insights, stay for the chaos.
