Event

Join San Francisco

September 9   |   3:30-6 p.m. PT   |   111 Minna Gallery

Join Joe Reis and special guests for an evening of drinks, data, and unscripted conversation with the 
San Francisco data community.

Where data minds connect

Join in and stay ahead of the curve.

Join San Francisco is your chance to unwind after work, talk shop, and connect with people who get it—no decks, no pitches, no pressure.

Meet Joe Reis—co-author of Fundamentals of Data Engineering, data architect, recovering data scientist, and host of The Joe Reis Show.

He’ll be joined by the Coalesce co-founders, Tara Lauritsen (First VP & Senior Director of BI & Data Strategy at Alliant Insurance), and Joe Floyd, General Partner at Emergence Capital, a leading VC backing the next wave of AI- and data-driven startups.

Together, they’ll lead an unscripted, audience-driven conversation on building a strong modern data stack—from ELT and observability to LLM readiness—and why getting your foundations right early is key to long-term success.

Whether you’re in the pipeline or pitching your next round, come ready to engage and hear real insights from both sides of the table.
