Our Trip to Data Fest 2026

Our team traveled to Moscow for the offline day of Data Fest. The venue was Loft Hall on Leninskaya Sloboda.

The goal was to see what’s happening in the industry, listen to colleagues, and gather ideas.

🗂 What stood out:

· Open Career — a section about careers in data analysis. We learned what skills employers are currently looking for and what they pay attention to in interviews. · Data Fusion from VTB — a live example of how a bank integrates data from various sources. It was interesting to compare this with how we do it. · Mathematics & ML — a section for those who don’t forget about theory. Honest presentations on optimization, matrices, and algorithms. · ML in Advertising — cases on targeting and real-time predictions. Very practical and illustrative.

We also had the opportunity to chat with colleagues from other companies during breaks. We exchanged contacts and discussed common issues — this is invaluable.

We returned with a couple of new ideas for our projects. We will definitely go again next year 🚀
