The rapid expansion of the geospatial industry and accompanying increase in availability of geospatial data, presents unique opportunities and challenges in data science. As the need for skilled data scientists increases, the ability to manipulate and interpret this data becomes crucial. This workshop introduces the essentials of geospatial data manipulation and data visualisation, emphasizing hands-on techniques to transform, analyze and visualise diverse datasets effectively.

Throughout the workshop, attendees will explore the extensive ecosystem of geospatial Python libraries. Key tools include GeoPandas, Shapely and Cartopy for vector data, GDAL, Rasterio and rioxarray for raster data and participants will also learn to integrate these with popular plotting libraries such as Matplotlib, Bokeh, and Plotly for visualizations.

This tutorial will cover three primary topics: visualizing geospatial shapes, managing raster datasets, and synthesizing multiple data types into unified visual representations. Each section will incorporate data manipulation exercises to ensure attendees not only visualize but also deeply understand geospatial data.

Targeting both beginners and advanced practitioners, the workshop will employ real-world examples to guide participants through the necessary steps to produce striking and informative geospatial visualizations. By the end, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge to leverage advanced data science techniques in their geospatial projects, making them proficient in both the analysis and communication of spatial information.

As your organization scales to 20+ data science teams and 300+ DS/ML/DE engineers, you face a critical challenge: how to build a secure, reliable, and scalable orchestration layer that supports both fast experimentation and stable production workflows. We chose Airflow — and didn’t regret it! But to make it truly work at our scale, we had to rethink its architecture from the ground up. In this talk, we’ll share how we turned Airflow into a powerful MLOps platform through its core capability: running pipelines across multiple K8s GPU clusters from a single UI (!) using per-cluster worker pools. To support ease of use, we developed MLTool — our own library for fast and standardized DAG development, integrated Vault for secure secret management across teams, enabled real-time logging with S3 persistence and built a custom SparkSubmitOperator for Kerberos-authenticated Spark/Hadoop jobs in Kubernetes. We also streamlined the developer experience — users can generate a GitLab repo and deploy a versioned pipeline to prod in under 10 minutes! We’re proud of what we’ve built — and our users are too. Now we want to share it with the world!

In the rapidly evolving field of data engineering and data science, efficiency and ease of use are crucial. Our innovative solution offers a user-friendly interface to manage and schedule custom PySpark, PySQL, Python, and SQL code, streamlining the process from development to production. Using Airflow at the backend, this tool eliminates the complexities of infrastructure management, version control, CI/CD processes, and workflow orchestration.The intuitive UI allows users to upload code, configure job parameters, and set schedules effortlessly, without the need for additional scripting or coding. Additionally, users have the flexibility to bring their own custom artifactory solution and run their code. In summary, our solution significantly enhances the orchestration and scheduling of custom code, breaking down traditional barriers and empowering organizations to maximize their data’s potential and drive innovation efficiently. Whether you are an individual data scientist or part of a large data engineering team, this tool provides the resources needed to streamline your workflow and achieve your goals faster than ever before.

The modern data stack has transformed how organizations work with data, but are our BI tools keeping pace with these changes? As data schemas become increasingly fluid and analysis needs range from quick explorations to production-grade reporting, traditional approaches are being challenged. How can we create analytics experiences that accommodate both casual spreadsheet users and technical data modelers? With semantic layers becoming crucial for AI integration and data governance growing in importance, what skills do today's BI professionals need to master? Finding the balance between flexibility and governance is perhaps the greatest challenge facing data teams today. Colin Zima is the Co-Founder and CEO of Omni, a business intelligence platform focused on making data more accessible and useful for teams of all sizes. Prior to Omni, he was Chief Analytics Officer and VP of Product at Looker, where he helped shape the product and data strategy leading up to its acquisition by Google for $2.6 billion. Colin’s background spans roles in data science, analytics, and product leadership, including positions at Google, HotelTonight, and as founder of the restaurant analytics startup PrimaTable. He holds a degree in Operations Research and Financial Engineering from Princeton University and began his career as a Structured Credit Analyst at UBS. In the episode, Richie and Colin explore the evolution of BI tools, the challenges of integrating casual and rigorous data analysis, the role of semantic layers, and the impact of AI on business intelligence. They discuss the importance of understanding business needs, creating user-focused dashboards, and the future of data products, and much more.

The Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and Lakeflow Connect have transformed how Porsche manages and uses its customer data. By opting to use Lakeflow Connect instead of building a custom solution, the company has reaped the benefits of both operational efficiency and cost management. Internally, teams at Porsche now spend less time managing data integration processes. “Lakeflow Connect has enabled our dedicated CRM and Data Science teams to be more productive as they can now focus on their core work to help innovate, instead of spending valuable time on the data ingestion integration with Salesforce,” says Gruber. This shift in focus is aligned with broader industry trends, where automotive companies are redirecting significant portions of their IT budgets toward customer experience innovations and digital transformation initiatives. This story was also shared as part of a Databricks Success Story — Elise Georis, Giselle Goicochea.
