Building a Data Career: Navigating the Data Job Market in the Age of AI
A recent grad, mid-job search, sits down with data professionals for a candid conversation on what it really takes to get hired right now.
Nobody really tells you what the job market actually looks like once you're the one applying. Whether you just graduated, you're switching into data from another field, or you're back in the search after a layoff, the postings all seem to ask for experience nobody entry-level actually has. This panel is for anyone stuck in that gap.
We're bringing together people who've been on the other side of the hiring table in analytics leadership, workforce development, and business development to talk honestly about what's actually happening in data hiring right now. Not the LinkedIn advice version. The real one.
This year's conference is built around one question: what does it mean to work in data now, with AI changing the ground under everyone's feet? This panel takes that question straight to the job hunt. Expect real talk about what actually gets a resume a second look, whether "no experience" is really the dealbreaker it feels like, and how AI is quietly reshaping what an entry-level or even mid-career data role looks like these days. If you're job hunting right now, at any stage of your career, this conversation is built for you.
