Dave has been doing analytics since the 1990s, and frankly very little of it is relevant to how we do analytics in 2026.  When I hire people I don’t look for people with a lot of experience – they tend to also have a ton of baggage that I do NOT want.  What I want is a person with critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to learn the latest technology quickly.  Move fast - break things.

Why this matters

Data analysts, data scientists, and other data professionals are often key employees of an organization, and it's likely that at some point you'll need to collaborate with one of them. If you want to collaborate effectively with a data professional, you'll need to learn to think like them.In this session, Dave Wentzel, a Technical Evangelist at Microsoft, helps you understand the data mindset so you can have an intelligent conversation with a data scientist, and perhaps try analyzing some data yourself. You'll learn core data jargon, see the data science workflow in action, and see how data can be used to solve business and real-life problems.
