Jordan Tigani, CEO + Founder of MotherDuck and one of the founding engineers on Google BigQuery, recently wrote a blog post called "Big Data is Dead" which took the internet by storm. Aditya Parameswaran, Co-Founder of Ponder and Associate Professor at UC Berkeley, wrote a rebuttal called "Big Data Is Dead… Long Live Big Data." This interactive broadcast will be a fun and lively debate answering the question of whether we should host a funeral for big data or if big data is having a renaissance. The debate will be moderated by Aaron Elmore, Associate Professor at University of Chicago. [astute viewers will note that Aaron is currently "interning" at MotherDuck, but he's also a long-time friend of Aditya's, so the conflicts on both sides are acknowledged and Aaron will try to remain impartial]
