There is a lot of talk when it comes to how LLMs can best be deployed in the analytics space. What are implementation best practices? Are LLMs best suited with text-to-SQL or with a Semantic Layer underneath providing proper constraints?

These are fun discussions to have, but LLMs also present a massive opportunity for companies beyond normal analytics work. The team at Newfront has been building LLM-powered products for clients that are external facing, using a cross-functional group that consists of many data team members.

In this talk, they'll go over where data professionals fit best in building these sorts of products and how to get started in participating in direct value generation for your business.

Speaker: Patrick Miller Head of Data & AI Newfront

Not every company has a data team in it’s founding five… or even five hundred. It wasn’t until Newfront was nearing 1,000 employees after an M&A event that data became a serious focus. But bringing order to so many distributed systems wasn't easy. Epic migrations, stakeholder clashes, and adventures in activations… the story of how Newfront made the warehouse the center of their universe is the hero story every data team at a larger company needs to hear.
