Join us by the virtual fireplace for the final Data-powered Innovation Jam episode of 2025! In this special holiday edition, our hosts swap ugly Christmas sweater stories, debate favorite festive tunes (from punk to glam rock), and reflect on a whirlwind year in AI and data innovation.
From breakthroughs in autonomous agents and digital twins to the hype scalers that dominated LinkedIn, we explore what truly mattered in 2025 and what’s next for 2026. Expect candid insights, a few laughs, and even a philosophical detour into the future of coding and AI roles.
As one of our hosts, Ron, signs off for retirement, we raise a glass to realism, creativity, and game-changing ideas that actually deliver value.
Tune in for nostalgia, predictions, and plenty of holiday cheer.
