When you realize the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2026 is coming up…

… it is hard not to get excited.

This year’s theme is Value at AI Velocity, and it hits a real tension many teams are feeling:
✅ Deliver value fast
✅ Govern responsibly
✅ Build for what comes next

The agenda brings together practical guidance, trusted research, and peer conversations that go beyond hype and into execution.

As an official sponsor of the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit, I invite you to take a look at the agenda and see if it is a fit for you or your team:

"Susie's School Bus Solution", a whimsical rhyming story about the school bus detector that I built for my home using computer vision is now live! From data gathering to deploying for ages 6-12: https://a.co/d/higPAuW

Co-author of "Machine Learning Upgrade: A Data Scientist's Guide to MLOPs, LLMs, and ML Infrastructure" with Wiley. It's available now: https://a.co/d/95jx7QP

I've been a data scientist since finishing my MS in Applied Statistics in 2010. It all started with building neural nets and ARIMAs in the utility industry, then I moved to building models for winback campaigns in healthcare, but the majority of my data wrangling, model building, and hypothesis testing has been in marketing analytics in e-commerce.

The most important thing I learned is that customers sometimes do things that make no sense, so don’t make assumptions, use data.

I’ve shared a lot about ML projects I’ve built for both industry and personal projects at datamovesme.com
