Data Sips is a new video miniseries presented by Ippon Technologies and DATAVERSITY that showcases quick conversations with industry experts from last month’s Data Governance & Information Quality (DGIQ) Conference in Washington, D.C. 

The final episode of the Data Sips series features Shannon Kempe, DATAVERSITY’s chief digital officer, chatting with host Steve MacLauchlan, head of data at Ippon. Steve also hosts a longer version of the series called The Data Pour, where he sits down with data professionals over drinks.

In the interview, Shannon describes how DATAVERSITY has transformed over the years – from producing just conferences in the early days to now offering online courses, webinars, podcasts, a Women in Data Management and Governance community, and digital events on a variety of topics.

“I am just so grateful to work with this community,” she says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people reaching out and helping each other just because they have that passion for data.”
