Big Data & AI World London 2025 brought together thousands of data and AI professionals at ExCeL London—and WhereScape was right in the middle of the action. With automation taking center stage across the industry, it was no surprise that our booth and sessions were buzzing from start to finish.

High-Value Conversations, Real Solutions

Throughout the two-day event, the WhereScape team engaged with data leaders from a wide range of industries, all seeking ways to accelerate development cycles, reduce technical debt, and modernize legacy systems. Our automation platform resonated with attendees looking to streamline complex processes like data warehouse migrations, improve data quality, and enable cross-team collaboration.

Our booth generated significant interest and more than 500 qualified leads—each conversation reinforcing that the demand for practical, scalable automation is stronger than ever.

Standing Room Only for Both Speaking Sessions

Both of our sessions drew standing-room-only crowds, a clear sign that the industry is eager for actionable solutions to modern data challenges.

In the first session, Endika Pascual, Senior Solutions Architect at WhereScape, explored how combining Data Vault methodology with Delta Lake enables organizations to build scalable, governed, and automation-driven data architectures. He highlighted how automation plays a critical role in managing metadata, accelerating model deployment, and improving agility in analytics environments.

In partnership with Engaging Data Limited, Simon Meacher led a session focused on scaling data modeling practices across teams. He emphasized how collaboration, automation, and standardized workflows can address common bottlenecks in model design—especially as organizations scale their data initiatives. The session resonated with teams looking to operationalize best practices and increase modeling efficiency using WhereScape.

A Strong Team Presence

WhereScape was represented by a cross-functional team, including Chay Ramesh, Ricky Garcia, Matti Ristiluoma, James Murphy, Endika Pascual, and Paul Watson-Gover—each bringing technical depth and strategic insight to every conversation. We also partnered closely with Engaging Data Limited, who continue to be strong advocates for agile data architecture and modern modeling practices.
