Talk: Entity-First Driven Design for Event Data Modeling

Behavioral data is rich, granular, and highly predictive for understanding how customers make decisions. However, it can also be messy and complex, becoming increasingly fragmented over time in downstream modeling. In this talk, we’ll go back to the source of data creation and explore why an Entity-first approach to event data design & modeling can not only transform raw event data into reliable data models and improve analytics quality, but also enable future operational use cases.

Jon Su is a Solutions Architect at Snowplow, collaborating closely with and guiding businesses to design and build out their best-in-class customer data infrastructure on Snowplow. With experience working with customers across retail, fintech, media, and other industries, Jon helps organizations unlock operational value from their behavioral data and turn data into outcomes. Prior to joining Snowplow, Jon worked as the EU Regional Data Analytics Lead for a boutique Google Cloud consultancy where he supported customers with Martech and Cloud technical implementations and roadmap strategies.

A strategic approach to testing with Data Products in dbt With data teams' growing ambition to build business automation, AI systems, or customer-facing products, we must shift our mindset about data quality. Mechanically applied testing will not be enough; we need a more robust strategy similar to software engineering.In this talk, I outline a new approach to data testing and observability anchored in the ‘Data Products’ concept and walk through the practical implementation of a production-grade analytics system with dbt as the backbone.The learnings will be applicable for data practitioners using dbt no matter if they're just getting started or work in a large enterprise.

Lessons from setting up 100+ teams’ data stacks A distillation of some of the lessons I’ve learned from helping more than 100 teams build or migrate their data stacks to be usable by their organisations.
