Hi Very Cool Manager,
I’m writing because I have some great news: Your very cool data geek wants to attend the next
Data Council is not the standard watered-down “big data” conference you might have attended previously - instead we are built and run by software engineers, developers and data geeks. We have teams from across Europe, the US and Asia participating every year with companies lots of very cool data engineering or data science companies along with many awesome speakers.
This year hundreds of data geeks like you and I will celebrate learning and sharing at Data Council.
Event Details Go Here
We’d actually love to have the both of you attend. The event includes 2 full days and
Your employee is eagerly awaiting your response, so send them an email. This will make their day!

Data Council is also built for entrepreneurs. We know that all good things in data started with a small and dedicated team dreaming up a grand idea. That's why we support startups by offering them special pricing, special access and networking at our event. So whether you are looking for investors, customers, media exposure or mentoring, Data Council offers a unique opportunity to reach the global audience and engage with the tech community.
Data Council was really great. The vibe and culture were exactly what i felt from following the RSS feeds, Twitter, watching YouTube etc for the last couple of year, and what attracted me to want to come to the event. I really wish i could have stayed both days. I will be recommending it to friends! It was a real pleasure speaking.
Data Council is a great conference for technical talks with real insights to data engineering challenges and solutions. As an engineer who works on open-source
Just wanted to reach out to thank you for the opportunity to speak at the confernce. As a conference it was very informative and the talks inspired some of my software design approaches. I'm sharing my experiences with my team to help spread the knowledge.
You might know us as Hakka Labs or DataEngConf, but now we are Data Council. We're engineers ourselves, and are committed to building the most useful network to connect engineers globally around deeply technical events, training programs and career opportunities.
That's why Data Council has been re-designed to be uniquely different - we start by connecting the local data community with our global network, then layer on vetted speakers plus amazing attendees (like you!). To learn more about the steps we take to include communities and protect diversity at our events, check out our Diversity Statement.
Remember, this is not the watered-down “big data” conference you may have attended previously - instead Data Council is built and run by software engineers and data geeks, like yourself!
Our conference talks are hand-picked by our community. Expect real-world architectures of data pipelines and platforms, applied, practical examples of data science, and cutting edge AI implementations from the best startups we discover.
See you at a Data Council event!
