The Data Table

​We had a successful series of dinners back in 2025. Hours of unstoppable conversations, ideas shared, and new relationships formed! Let's continue building on this.

​This is a private, small dinner for researchers and builders working to improve the status quo in database systems and the data layer.

​It’s informal, but the goal is serious: to bring together people who understand the foundational role of data management and who are painfully aware of the limitations of today’s tools – especially in the context of AI and its capabilities.

The conversation will be lightly structured to move us beyond small talk and toward meaningful, focused discussion.

The dinner will be held at the same place as last time, Muukata6395 – the only Thai-style grill in the whole Bay Area. The goal is to foster a lively and collaborative environment for the conversations. We can do a hands-on grill, as we did last time, and mix it up with other Thai dishes if desired.

​The event starts at 6:00pm and runs past 9pm.

​This time, the dinner is self-pay.
