Conference: data2day

Date: November 4, 2025 - Time: 11:15 a.m.
Location: IHK Karlsruhe, Germany

Presentation: Data Engine Thinking: Future-proof data solutions
Speaker: Dirk Lerner

About the presentation: Data tells stories—if you understand it in the right context. Often, however, it remains just “ stuff” that we cannot use meaningfully. Data Engine Thinking wants to change that: It’s about developing data solutions that are flexible, robust, and adaptable—just like the requirements that challenge companies every day.

Whether automation, context understanding, or the integration of modern frameworks: Data Engine Thinking covers the most important building blocks of a future-proof data solution. The approach is practical, adaptable, and designed to get the most out of data – so that companies can not only keep pace with their data, but also take off.

About the speaker: Dirk is an experienced independent consultant and managing director of TEDAMOH – the Data Modeling Hub. He is recognized worldwide as an expert in BI and data architectures as well as data modeling and is particularly valued for his work on temporal data – including groundbreaking examples on his blog and in his training courses that highlight the many aspects of time management in data and their solutions.

With a 25-year career focused on data modeling, temporal data, and automation, Dirk has consistently applied these disciplines to create flexible, lean, and extensible architectures.

As a pioneer of Data Vault and FCO-IM in Germany, Dirk has authored various publications and is a highly regarded international speaker at conferences.
