Thanks to everyone that joined us last night for the first of many dinners around the data table. ??
Last night, Matia hosted an incredible data dinner in Toronto together with Leaders Fund (Gideon Hayden, David Kamenetsky), bringing together some of the brightest minds. The room buzzed with conversations about challenges, solutions, and visions for the future of our field. Over great food and even better company, we shared insights, stories, and a mutual passion for making sense of the world's information. Moments like these remind me of the power of community in data and engineering. Building a data company isn’t just about lines of code or cutting-edge algorithms—it’s about people. A strong community amplifies innovation, creates lasting connections, and drives the collective growth of our industry. Whether it’s through sharing best practices, collaborating on projects, or just swapping war stories from the trenches, community is where ideas evolve and where solutions emerge. To everyone who joined us last night: thank you for making the evening unforgettable. And to the broader data community: let’s keep building, together. If you’ve ever hosted or been part of a community-driven event, I’d love to hear how it shaped your perspective or your work. Let’s keep the conversation going! ?? #DataCommunity #TorontoTech #Networking #DataInnovation
