Modern businesses run on modern data environments — and that’s exactly what the Data Architecture, Platforms & Infrastructure Theatre at Data Decoded MCR is all about.

Sessions explore cloud-native platforms, hybrid infrastructures, real-time pipelines, and cost-efficient architectures. You’ll hear how leading organisations are building resilience, ensuring interoperability, and supporting analytics and AI workloads at scale.
