Are you a DBA trying to learn more about Lakehouse’s? Or a Data Engineer wanting to better understand traditional Data Warehousing? Whether you are from a DBA or Data Engineering background, understanding the differences between traditional Warehousing systems and Lakehouse’s is invaluable. This allows us to work with both old and new, whether that be managing both side by side, ingesting from a traditional system into a Lakehouse, or moving completely away from a traditional SQL Warehouse to a Data Lake In this session we will do direct comparisons between features/functionality , illustrating how these different tools are ultimately the same and very different at the same time. Finally, we will talk about how these two technologies can be part of the same data platform solution!

Code Clubs offer an amazing opportunity to introduce our next generation to coding, with simple brightly colored drag-and-drop tooling to get them started, we are successfully inspiring many to join the tech industry. In this session I want to talk you through my journey setting up a Code Club for neurodiverse children, what I found worked, and what doesn’t. I hope that from this session you will be inspired to follow the same path I have, using your amazing tech experience to empower some of the most vulnerable children, enabling them to become inspired not just by coding, but the tech industry itself.
