Talk Data To Me - 3rd Edition

Welcome back! We have a great collection of articles lined up for the Third Edition of the Talk Data To Me newsletter. Plus, something new - the launch of the first episode of the Data Trends with Maritza podcast.

In this edition, we explore the powerful impact of the latest developments in AI, including the complex ethical, legal and security implications of this rapidly evolving technology. We also take a closer look at how AI has forever changed the responsibilities of data leaders, and what future data roles may look like. Plus, we dive into topics like data sharing and getting value from your data, as well as exploring real-world case studies from around the world! Check it all out below.

Dalebrook Media is super excited to be bringing DataFest to the Mother City in November!

We first ran DataFest in Jozi in May and we went all out - live DJ, graffiti stage and neon lighting. It quickly became known as the data disco. The vibes were just too good not to keep the party going and bring it to sunny Cape Town.

We don't just bring awesome entertainment, we also have a jam-packed agenda with rockstar speakers giving mind-blowing Ted Style talks on only the most important and trending topics in data.

Check out the full list of speakers and view the agenda here - we can't wait to see you there.
