The 10K Signal: A New Chapter in Modern Data 📶
10,000 of us together isn’t just a milestone, it’s a movement. To celebrate, we’re opening The Modern Data Masterclass: By the Community For the Community
We are thrilled to share with you that we’re now 10,000 minds strong, all united by a shared curiosity to rethink how data is built, consumed, and put to work.
This milestone isn’t just a number, but it’s the proof of a movement that’s reshaping modern data practices from the ground up.
60+ Voices Came Together to Create the Chorus of Modern Data 101 🎼
What makes this space remarkable is not just ideas, but the people behind them: practitioners, thinkers, leaders, and dreamers. But most importantly, visionaries who strive to reshape the data world for a better tomorrow.
…so here's to the ones who see things differently. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things…the ones crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ~ Our favourite, Steve Jobs
We have heartfelt gratitude for every author, contributor, speaker, and collaborator who has carried Modern Data 101 forward and shaped its presence. Beyond knowledge and insights, each brought a piece of their lived experience, shaping the initiative with both intellect and soul. Modern Data 101 resonated and continues to, because it’s many voices amplified as one, woven together into something larger than any of us could create alone.
We actively collaborate with experts in the Data and AI space to surface diverse perspectives and value to the data community. Feel free to reach out if you have hot ideas brewing!

What You’ve Been Saying 🧡
We continue to be overwhelmed with the support, collaboration, and partnership from you, which immediately adds incredible value to even the blank canvas we start with.
And this is not about a group getting as large as 10000, but your support and presence have felt strong at 1000, 500, or even the first 200. As we keep growing with you, the realisation hits clearer that the ones who have joined us along the way envision, support, and are involved in creating a future vision of modern data systems. And it changes the entire game, letting us have the company of quality, irrespective of whether a crowd showed up or not.
Your insights, energy, and trust turn simple ideas into real impact, and this two-way commitment has always inspired us to strive for better. Together, we’re not just building solutions; we’re creating something meaningful. A new direction led by a collective of so many incredible minds.
Thank you for being an integral part of this journey, for showing up, contributing, and making this community not just a network, but a living, breathing body of ideas and action. Here’s to continuing to grow, innovate, and thrive together.
And a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree.
~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
