Xient Radar · Our read
← Back to the Xient Radar - dates, map and timeline
data2day is the hands-on format of Germany's data scene: run by heise and dpunkt for over a decade, deliberately without glamour. Data teams from real companies report how it actually went - detours included. Topics follow what teams genuinely wrestle with: data quality and data contracts, lakehouse architectures, and increasingly how agentic systems and analytics come together.
The working level of the data world: data engineers, analytics leads, platform teams - the people who run the systems others give keynotes about. Conversations are accordingly direct.
Data and analytics leaders facing decisions on stack, standards and team setup - and executives who want to mirror their own data strategy against the engine rooms of other companies.
If you are after C-level networking or big market overviews, this is the wrong place: data2day is small, technical and honest - that is its entire point.
What is told here as workshop reports are the patterns we find in our assessments: data quality beats tool choice. Where your own house stands: Data and analytics at Xient.
