Our diverse audience included IT professionals of various seniorities, all of whom found Vid's practical demonstrations on essential tools and libraries highly valuable. The Q&A sessions sparked conversations about starting in data engineering, understanding data lineage, and recommendations for specific DQ tools and implementation strategies. After the knowledge-sharing session, we enjoyed networking over food, drinks, and music and even ended the evening by watching the EURO football game together.
