What truly makes a data scientist effective in their job and career? Come hear from our panel of data scientists, each with their unique pathway into data science, discuss the principles that matter: pathways to data science, translating business problems, and what technical expertise means for data science. Grow your insight into becoming the kind of data scientist people trust to solve the right problems, the right way.
During this expert panel, we'll explore the critical intersections of data science, engineering, and stakeholder engagement in today's organizations. This discussion will address how to break down silos between technical disciplines, establish effective collaboration models, create rapid experimentation frameworks, and successfully transition projects from exploration to production. Our panelists bring diverse perspectives on building integrated teams that balance innovation with enterprise standards while delivering real value.
