Meet up with your analytics peers and chat

[RSVP via EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/data-analytics-wednesday-jun-2026-tickets-1989904058606?aff=oddtdtcreator) **A playbook for operationalising LLM as a judge** *[Angelica Chowdhury](https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelicachowdhury/), Data Scientist and AI Safety Researcher* Shipping LLMs into production means you need to evaluate them at scale. But human review doesn't scale, and trusting a single LLM judge introduces its own failures: position bias, fluency over substance, unfaithful reasoning, and no fallback when the judge is wrong. Most teams reach for a quick LLM eval and call it done, without realising they've traded one black box for another. To address this gap, this talk will cover strategies for building evaluation pipelines with actionable implementation steps, when to escalate cases for human review, and how to know your judge is working. **When the Numbers Break: An Analytics Leader’s Incident Playbook** *[Andrew Pearce](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewwilliampearce/), Business Data and Insights Manager, Metcash* What happens when the numbers suddenly stop making sense? Data quality incidents are inevitable in complex organisations. A missing data feed, duplicated transactions, or broken pipeline can quickly undermine confidence in analytics and stall decision making across the business. This talk explores how analytics leaders can respond when the numbers break. Drawing on real-world experiences from enterprise retail environments, Andrew will share a practical playbook for managing data incidents: containing impact, communicating uncertainty, restoring trust, and turning incidents into stronger systems. Rather than focusing on technical fixes, the session focuses on leadership: how to maintain stakeholder confidence, keep decisions moving, and strengthen organisational trust in data. Attendees will leave with a simple framework they can apply the next time their data pipeline fails and the business asks the inevitable question: “Can we trust the numbers?” **What's this all about?** On the second Wednesday of every month the digital analytics community gets together for one or two short talks in an informal setting. There's lots of time for open ended discussion and to socialise. Plus there's free drinks! Open to anyone interested in digital analytics, we have people ranging from beginners through to analytics gurus and from marketing through to technical spaces, and everything in between.

It is no longer enough to analyze data after the fact. In AI-driven products, decisions often need to happen while events are still unfolding: a user is interacting with an agent, a model is generating output, a workflow is waiting on a tool call, or an operational issue is emerging in production. This talk introduces real-time analytics and explains why it has become more important in the AI era. We will look at common AI-era use cases, including observability, user behavior analysis, operational monitoring, and agent performance tracking. Using Apache Doris as the implementation layer, we will explore how a real-time analytics system can support fast ingestion, low-latency queries, and scalable interactive analysis. I will also share a brief introduction to the Doris open source community and demonstrate a real-time observability use case for AI agents. The goal is to show how teams can turn streaming events into actionable insights quickly enough to improve user experience, reliability, and decision-making. **Speaker Bio**: Mingyu Chen is the Apache Doris PMC Chair and Vice President of Technology at VeloDB. As a seasoned big data developer and one of the founding engineers of the Apache Doris project, Rayner has been a pivotal force in driving the community's growth and technical roadmap. Throughout the project's history, he has spearheaded the technical innovations across every major version and architectural evolution, nurturing Apache Doris into the flourishing analytical database it is today. 🎤 Shilin Wu, Principal Solution Architect@VeloDB **Talk Title**: Realtime AI observability and analytics with Apache Doris - Live Demo **Talk Summary**: AI systems don’t behave like traditional software. When something goes wrong, it’s rarely obvious why. In this live session, we’ll walk through how you can start making AI systems more observable in practice. We’ll explore how to: * Understand what your AI system is actually doing under the hood * Trace how outputs are generated across different steps * Identify where things start to drift or break down * Analyze usage patterns, performance, and cost over time We’ll also show how Apache Doris can be used to store, query, and analyze AI interaction data at scale—so you can move beyond intuition and actually reason about your system. This is a live, evolving demo focused on ideas you can take back and apply immediately. **Speaker Bio**: Shilin is Principal Solution Architect at VeloDB, specializing in the design and optimization of distributed real-time analytical platforms. With an impressive career spanning industry leaders such as Google, Ant Financial, and Confluent, Shilin brings a wealth of expertise in architecting high-performance data systems at scale. He is dedicated to helping organizations successfully transition Apache Doris and VeloDB into production, ensuring their environments are robust, scalable, and highly efficient.
