In a recent event, we hosted a group of industry experts for a night of laughs and drinks as we discussed cloud migration and heard from our friends at Don’t Tell Comedy. Unravel VP of Solutions Engineering Chris Santiago and AWS Sr. Worldwide Business Development Manager for Analytics Kiran Guduguntla moderated a discussion with data professionals from Black Knight, TJX Companies, AT&T Systems, Georgia Pacific, and IBM, among others.
