Title & Speakers Event
Event Big Data LDN 2025 2025-09-24
Chris Tabb – CCO @ LEIT DATA

Join us for an unmissable evening of insight, discussion, and lively debate at The High Performance Data and AI Debate, hosted by Chris Tabb — a unique Big Data London special running from 6:00–8:00 PM. This fast-paced, interactive event brings together some of the brightest minds in data and AI to tackle the most pressing questions shaping the future of teams, architecture, and products in an AI-first world.

The evening kicks off at 6:00 PM with a welcome and free drinks. Then, across three rapid-fire 20-minute debates, our expert panels will explore:

AI & Data – Teams (Chair: Eevamaija Virtanen)

Mehdi Ouazza, Paul Rankin, Jesse Anderson, Hugo Lu

AI & Data – Architecture (Chair: Adi Polak)

Chris Freestone, David Richardson, Nick White, Karl Ivo Sokolov

AI & Data – Products (Chair: Jai Parmar)

Kelsey Hammock, Jean-Georges (jgp) Perrin, Taylor McGrath, Jon Cooke

Refuel with free pizza at 6:50 PM, then stay for the Town Hall Debate, where all speakers return to the stage for an open-floor Q&A — your chance to challenge their ideas, share perspectives, and shape the conversation.

Expect fresh perspectives, healthy disagreement, and practical takeaways you can bring back to your organisation. Whether you’re leading a data team, designing cutting-edge architectures, or building AI-powered products, this is your space to engage with the people shaping what’s next.

DataOps, and more recently, Data Products have still only been around for a relatively short period of time. 

However, the collective experience of those who have been working in this area is now sufficiently large that patterns and trends have emerged, as well as a regular set of misconceptions! 

In this session, Keith Belanager, DataOps.live Field CTO and multi decade practitioner, Paul Rankin, former Head of Data Platforms and Governance at Roche Diagnostics, multi decade practitioner and Data Mesh and Data Products expert, and Guy Adams, DataOps.live co-founder and author of DataOps for Dummies and Data Products for Dummies, meet to discuss the top myths and misconceptions they see and give the real facts!

The developer experience, or DevEx, has become an essential pillar in data product development. It not only facilitates the work of the development team but also drives innovation and efficiency.

During this session we will learn from IDC award winning data platform consultant Paul Rankin how some of Switzerland's top companies are turning their attention to the developer experience in combination with true DataOps principles to increase productivity and accelerate data product development cycles.
