So what are we going to talk about? I'm like, let's try 15 minutes before we give a purple.
Well, I say there's a few different things we're excited about, right? There's some very top of mind topics that are maturing that I think especially one you want to dove into.
And then there's like some interesting just like kind of happenings in the space, which I think are noteworthy and are going to be some thematics as we move through our season.
And we've got quite a few guests already locked in and we kind of know what we've talked about.
and uh cool topics i feel like we're going to you know these are all it's always my favorite season when we have variety right where where you have sort of like tried and true kind of data and analytics but then we can get more technical right let's get a little engineering let's learn about databases and things like that right and then let's get more into strategy and culture and what we can do there and Let's get out like out on the edges and let's learn about new technologies that are just kind of breaking the barrier on things.
You know, one of the topics I know that we're going to talk about this season is quantum computing.
And what does that mean in general? But what does that mean for data analytics? And like that, you know, something that always has felt 10 years away all of a sudden doesn't feel like 10 years away anymore.

So the great variety, actually next week we're going to have Bethany Sihon, she's from Capital One and has been working on data products and ontologies.

And one thing, I met Bethany back in 2019 at the Knowledge Graph Conference back in 2019, and she was presenting already about like the pilots that Capital One was doing.

So talk about somebody who's like, our team has been really investing in all of this semantic stuff way, way, way, way before everybody else in doing this, right? So I'm really excited to go talk with Bethany.

He was one of our, our coworker who lived from data.world, uh, wrote a book, uh, on data.
