Data Modeling Zone 2025

Applications deliver value only when the underlying applications meet user needs. Yet organizations spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours every year developing solutions that fail to deliver. There is so much waste due to poorly capturing and articulating business requirements. Data models prevent this waste by capturing business terminology and needs in a precise form and at varying levels of detail, ensuring fluid communication across business and IT. Data modeling is therefore an essential skill for anyone involved in building an application: from data scientists and business analysts to software developers and database administrators. Data modeling is all about understanding the data used within our operational and analytics processes, documenting this knowledge in a precise form called the “data model”, and then validating this knowledge through communication with both business and IT stakeholders. DMZ is the only conference completely dedicated to data modeling.

DMZ US 2025 will contain five tracks:

• Skills (fundamental and advanced modeling techniques)
• Technologies (AI, mesh, cloud, lakehouse, modeling tools, and more)
• Patterns (reusable modeling and architectural structures)
• Growth (communication and time management techniques)
• Semantics (graphs, ontologies, taxonomies, and more)
