The Future of Dashboards: Agentic Analytics
For data teams, dashboards are supposed to help business users make better decisions. Instead, many teams are drowning in dashboards that rarely get used. Business users ping you for metrics and dashboards that already exist.
Dashboards will always have a place in our toolset — so let's discuss what makes them successful and explore what drives internal adoption.
This meetup brings together analytics leaders and practitioners to share practical learnings on:
common pitfalls of dashboards and how to build data products that get used.
benefits of domain-driven data partnerships.
the future of analytics and how to enable business users to self-serve with agentic analytics.
Agenda & Speakers
18:00: Walk-in and food
18:25 - 18:50: Data Products That Actually Get Used — Héra Kantardjian, Analytics Leader at companies like MongoDB and Miro.
From dashboard sprawl to workflow-driven analytics — what it takes to build data products that fit how people work, and how to get there from where most teams are today.
18:50 - 19:15: Killing Dashboards: The role of data partners at JetBrains — Egor Larin, Data Partners Team Lead and Anna Malofeeva, Data Partner at JetBrains.
The data landscape at JetBrains is complex and fragmented, which led to the creation of data partners. Data partners at JetBrains function as product managers who are domain experts embedded into functions like finance, sales and marketing. Egor and Anna will talk about the history of this function, the problems it was designed to solve, and how it helped to address challenges around data usability and accessibility.
19:15 - 19:30: Databao Demo — Maksim Krivobok, Head of Growth, Databao at JetBrains. We're cooking up something new in the agentic analytics space at JetBrains. 😊
19:30 - 20:00: Not all dashboards are the same — Roman Bunin, Head of Data at Nebius Group.
Roman is a data visualization expert with over 15 years of experience building BI systems, dashboards and analytics teams. He will introduce a framework for understanding the different types of dashboards and creating a 'helicopter view' of an org's dashboard needs. Then he'll cover where AI agents can replace dashboards and enable self-serve and where traditional dashboards still make sense.
20:00 - 21:00: Networking
