Announcing The Fifth Elephant Winter Edition 2025

AI disrupting analytics and data workflows

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the entire data lifecycle - from engineering and pipelines, to analytics, visualization, and business intelligence. Large Language Models (LLMs) are at the center of this shift, offering new possibilities while creating uncertainty about established practices.

For practitioners, this disruption raises pressing questions:

• Am I investing in the right kind of disruption?
• Will my current skills remain relevant?
• How do I adapt as AI converges roles across data engineering, analytics, data science, and BI?

The Fifth Elephant Winter Edition brings the community together to explore these questions and share experiments, case studies, and implementations around AI-driven analytics and data workflows.
