Data Con LA 2025: A Statistically Significant Success

Data Con LA 2025 was held on November 8, 2025 at California State University, Long Beach. Our velocity, volume, and variety grew by 50% year-over-year, making this our biggest gathering since the pandemic, with 45 speakers, 25 amazing keynotes, sessions and panels, and catered networking events throughout the day.

We are deeply grateful to our hosts at California State University, Long Beach for providing an outstanding venue and welcoming our community. Thank you to all our sponsors and partners for making this event possible, to our incredible speakers for sharing your knowledge and insights, to our dedicated volunteers without whom Data Con LA would not happen in any year, and to all our attendees for bringing your energy, curiosity, and passion for data.

This year marks our 13^th annual event, and it's also a moment of transition. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Subash D'Souza, who is stepping down from active organizational duties. Subash started what was then Big Data Camp LA back in 2013, and through his passion and dedication, built a community that truly includes and persists. He showed us all what one person's vision and commitment can create. Thank you, Subash, for everything you've built and for the community you've given us.

We look forward to seeing you all in the future! In the meantime, check out our YouTube channel for recordings of sessions you may have missed or want to rewatch, and don't forget to sign up for updates!
