Hi there,

Dmytro here.

We’re opening two ways to share your work with the Data Phoenix community this fall: live product demos and in-depth technical talks.

Demo Stage: show what you’ve built

DP Demo Stage is our new weekly live online show, premiering October 7. Founders and lead engineers join us to demonstrate AI and Data tools, frameworks, applications, and infrastructure through real workflows.

5 projects per episode. A 5-minute live demo and a 3-minute Q&A for each. No slides or sales pitches. Just working software.

Our editorial team selects the projects. Questions come from the host and guest experts, with extended discussion and audience Q&A in our Slack community.

Selection deadlines:

  • September 25 for the October 7 premiere

  • October 2 for episode 2

Tech Talks: share what you’ve learned

DP Tech Talks returns weekly starting October 15, and we’re now accepting talk proposals for Q4.

Each episode features one expert and one focused topic: architecture, implementation, production trade-offs, and lessons learned. The goal is to understand how technology works, not just follow the headlines.

Our first 7 talks attracted 2,000+ live viewers and 21,000+ views of the recordings on YouTube. All seven recordings are available to watch.

A huge thank-you to our speakers for sharing their knowledge and experience: D. R. Sara (Founder and CEO, Vidamonti), Elizabeth Fuentes Leone (Developer Advocate, AWS), Roan Weigert 🤖 (Developer Relations Engineer, GMI Cloud), Rome Thorstenson (Founder, Rafter), Fabrizio Dimino (AI Research Scientist, Domyn), Santosh Kumar Radha (Co-Founder and CTO, AgentField), Yogiraj Awati (Engineering Manager, Instacart).

Thank you to our launch partner

Special thanks to AgentField, the launch partner of our summer Tech Talks series.

​AgentField is open-source infrastructure for building autonomous software factories and the AI backends that power them. It gives multi-agent systems a single control plane for orchestration, governance, and provenance - so every action your agents take is policy-checked and accountable, with no glue code and no editable logs. Apache 2.0, with SDKs in Python, TypeScript, and Go.

What’s next for Data Phoenix

We’ve also refreshed our website and built a new portal to manage our events, publications, and livestreams. We’re continuing to grow Data Phoenix as a community-driven platform for AI and Data professionals, with more ways to participate and share your work coming soon.

Interested in sponsoring our Q4 events? I’d love to share the partnership opportunities available now and what we’re planning next.

To learn more or ask about either show, send us a message or book a call with me.

Best,
Dmytro Spodarets
