The Fifth Elephant 2025 Annual Conference (18 & 19 July)

Building a real-world data project is only half the fun. A project without high-quality data and robust observability quickly loses trust. High-quality data remains the bedrock of everything from BI reports to the latest LLMs, but how do we ensure our data is trustworthy in a system with a lot of moving parts and ever-evolving data?

And once the pipelines are running, how do we keep a close eye on them? How do we tame a rogue agent, prevent an LLM from eating all our tokens, or ensure compliance with privacy and geographical restrictions?

Join this Birds of a Feather session to discuss the end-to-end challenge of building trustworthy data systems. We’ll connect the dots between proactive data quality and reactive operational observability. You will meet people with ideas, expertise, war stories, and perhaps even helpless shrugs 🙂. Let’s explore how to build data products that are not just powerful but also reliable, compliant, and transparent.
