It’s Showtime! A Whirlwind Tour of Modern Databases

It feels like a new database gets launched every other month. With more than 350 databases (and counting), it’s exhausting to get track of them, grasp the differences, and, more importantly, know when to use which. Welcome to our talk show with the hosts who spent countless days and nights working with modern databases. We’ll look into various database categories, watch demo-driven videos created by database companies specifically for this session, and figure out the best use cases for a particular database.

Come, have fun and leapfrog your knowledge of modern databases!

A diagnosis of neurodivergence can be daunting for Black families and individuals, who are often doubly marginalized. Fighting for acceptance is the first step in receiving the support they need, and keeping the conversation going can help break barriers that lead to justice, inclusion and belonging.
Join us for this important conversation with Wesley Faulkner. Wesley will be sharing on "My ND Journey: Growth, Trauma and Intersectionality". Personal narratives are powerful. They are developed through a mixture of lived experiences & personality, and they create the lens through which we see the world.
Personal stories are one of the most powerful tools we have to connect and go far beyond simply relaying facts and data. This presentation shared from a personal perspective helps us to understand the shared content and each other, and it makes the information memorable. Through the brave telling of lived experiences, an emotional connection is created that affords us a deeper understanding of other people's journeys and allows us to create a culture of acceptance, inclusion and belonging for those who think differently.
