Data Vault for Data Mesh
Data Vault 2.0 is a holistic solution that enables prescribed methods to an age-old problem - getting value out of business data assets by releasing workforce innovation through managed self-service analytics capabilities. In the past few years, a new buzz word has gotten our industry's head spinning again - say hello to the Data Mesh Theory or Conceptual Framework.

She has worked in a variety of IT realms over the past 35 years and, as of 2018, had spent the previous 17 years working in applications and data engineering development within the U.S. DoD. As a Solution Architect and Certified Instructor, her responsibilities and expertise range from the design, development, implementation, and technical guidance of Enterprise Data Warehouse/Big Data builds to crafting processes surrounding data acquisition and ingest, data governance and Master Data Management policy and compliance, development, and team leadership.
The Data Mesh concept put forth by Dehghani proposes a divide and conquer approach to tackling monolithic complexity by aligning implementation to the idea of domains. This workshop discusses an engineering approach for Data Mesh deployment that provides a practical architecture and governance framework to deliver connectivity across domains while encouraging a decentralized approach to stewardship and implementation.

Telling Data Stories That Matter
In our quest to understand data we’ll often come across insights that enlighten, information that entertains, and decision points that call us to action. As we seek to discover and tell these stories we may be driven by curiosity or creativity. But one motivation should never be overlooked: empathy. If we are to tell data stories that truly matter, then we must understand the data and the real people and situations represented and impacted by the data.
