Builders' Night: Designing data products in the age of AI
Good products start with users, not features.
Analytics has often worked the other way round: build the dashboard first, then hope someone opens it.
As more teams move beyond dashboards and build real data products, the tools of product design (user research, prototyping, iteration, and clear success metrics) are becoming core skills for data teams. 🧠
🤖 AI raises the stakes: when anyone can generate a chart in seconds, the real value lies in knowing what to build and for whom.
🎉 Join Lightdash, Gemma Analytics, and Data Berlin for an evening of hands-on product design, live demos of real-world data products, and drinks with the Berlin data community! 🍻
🗓️ Agenda
🕕 18:00 — Doors open
🛠️ 18:15 — Build Session
We’ll start with a 30-minute build session: a small brief, some sample data, and time to build your own data app using Lightdash. 📈 There’ll be people on hand to help along the way. 🙌
🎤 19:00 — Demos: Data Products in the Wild
Data leaders will demo products they’ve built for their teams. You’ll see how they work, who uses them, and what they learned along the way, with questions after each demo. 💬
🍕 20:00 — Networking, food, and drinks 🍹
🎙️ Live Demos From:
👤 Torben Broll — Director Data & AI Solutions at Natsana GmbH
👤 Paula Urrialde Gómez — Principal BI Developer, JustWatch GmbH
