What is data quality?
Data quality refers to the degree to which a dataset meets the expectations of accuracy, completeness, validity, and consistency, ensuring that the data is reliable and trustworthy for analysis, reporting, and decision-making. High-quality data is essential for organizations to make informed decisions and drive business growth, while poor data quality can result in incorrect conclusions and inefficiencies.

The insights gained from these sessions will empower you to implement proactive measures that can drastically reduce the incidence of data quality issues, saving valuable resources and mitigating risk for your organization. The knowledge shared during these talks will equip data teams to build stronger trust with stakeholders by ensuring the delivery of consistent, high-quality data.
Why data quality is a top priority for leaders
Data quality is the foundation upon which successful, data-driven organizations are built. High-quality data leads to better analytical outcomes, more accurate predictions, and informed decision-making processes.
Making data quality a top priority is essential not only for mitigating the risks associated with data inaccuracies but also for enabling businesses to move swiftly and confidently in a competitive landscape. By focusing on data quality, organizations can unlock the full potential of their data assets, drive innovation, and achieve sustainable growth.

A talk by: Eva Schreyer, Analytics Manager, Neugelb Studios GmbH
A sufficient event tracking framework is the most powerful data asset for product analytics. It will make or break your ability to analyse data and to influence your business. Quite often event tracking is a task nobody really wants to own and it is left for the data engineers to figure it out. And then analysts have to deal with data that are hard to use to answer business questions. I would argue that event tracking - as it is a data collection technique as well as a data source for analytics - should be the center of digital product analytics and analytics team should focus much more on building appropriate tracking frameworks from the start. I want to talk about my experience with two very different event tracking approaches (both for mobile apps) and what pros and cons are of various approaches.
