Garbage in, garbage out” is true.

But tonight’s session goes further than the slogan.

Advait Avinash Sowale is connecting data quality metrics directly to AI performance — where trust, accuracy and business impact meet.

🎭 🔥 The Mystery Guest Speaker Has Been Revealed (Well… Almost)

Next week is the Data Thursday Grand Finale, and we’ve saved something truly special for last.

Some say he can detect a poorly defined hub, link, or satellite from 300 meters away.
Some say he can rewrite your entire ELT pipeline using nothing but disappointment and a whiteboard marker.
Others claim his Data Vault models are so elegant that companies have actually replaced their office artwork with them.

But here’s what we can confirm:

He’s one of Europe’s most respected voices in Business Intelligence, a true master of
🧠 Data Vault
🧩 Ensemble Modeling
📐 BI & DWH Architecture
🎤 Coaching & Team Transformation
📚 Author of From Stories to Solutions

He is:
✔️ A Certified Data Vault Modeler
✔️ A Business Concept Maven
✔️ A proud member of the Boulder BI Brain Trust
✔️ A speaker whose sessions have changed how teams think about modeling and information design

And next week…
🔥 He takes the stage at the Data Thursday Grand Finale — live at The Freddy, B. Amsterdam.
A proper legend. Helmet optional.

Data Thursday: Taking Back Control – The Battle for AI Sovereignty

Join us at Data Thursday for an evening that dives into one of Europe’s most urgent digital questions: Who truly owns your AI and your data?

As U.S. laws like the Patriot Act and CLOUD Act challenge Europe’s digital sovereignty, the need for secure, compliant, and independent cloud solutions has never been greater.

Our guest speaker, Niek Temme, CEO & Co-Founder of Bubl Cloud, will explore how Europe can take back control. Bubl Cloud enables organizations to run their applications and AI in their own encrypted data vaults — fully secure, compliant, and under their control.

Discover how the reverse data model can redefine trust, privacy, and innovation in the AI era.

📅 Date: Thursday, October 30
📍 Location: The Jack, B. Amsterdam
🕕 Time: 18:00 – 21:30

RSVP 👉 https://www.meetup.com/data-thursday/events/307952541/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2

Network with data professionals, innovators, and founders shaping the future of AI sovereignty and data ethics.
