About Event
Join us at Shopify's Toronto office on Thursday, Oct 29th for an evening of learning, networking, and fun.
🎯 Theme: The Real Work of Data Engineering: AI, Scale, and the Mistakes That Teach Us
Some of the best engineering lessons come from the things that didn't go according to plan.
We are bringing Toronto's engineering community together to explore the real work behind building data and AI systems: the technical decisions, trade-offs, challenges, and lessons learned along the way.
Because increasingly, the hardest problems don't sit neatly inside data engineering, software engineering, or machine learning. They sit at the intersection.
