Welcome Back – Starting the New Year with Strong Product & Player Insights
Welcome back after the holidays! We are kicking off the new year strong, and week ten at the Data Innovation Summit XI Edition sets the tone with sharp product-focused analytics, real-world machine learning, and data-driven decision-making rooted in operational reality. As the program continues to take shape, this week highlights how data science delivers value when tightly integrated with product strategy and everyday decisions.
We are excited to welcome new speakers from CCP Games in the new Industry Day Stages, bringing deep product and data science expertise from one of the world’s most complex live gaming environments.
Snorri Árnason, Executive Producer of EVE Online, together with Kajetan Sygula, Senior Data Scientist at CCP Games, present From Noisy Events to Meaningful Player Patterns. The session explores how machine learning is used to understand early player behavior and predict long-term engagement by focusing on the first minutes and hours of the player journey. Built on detailed, real-time event tracking, the talk shows how early player segmentation helps avoid misleading averages and enables reliable churn and lifetime value models. Beyond the models themselves, the session highlights the real challenge: embedding predictions into daily product, player experience, and marketing decisions while keeping data science and product teams aligned as the game evolves.
We are pleased to welcome Dun & Bradstreet as a new partner joining the XI Edition ecosystem.
As we move into the new year, the XI Edition continues to build momentum with concrete use cases, strong product thinking, and lessons drawn directly from teams working with data and AI at scale. More announcements are coming soon.
See you in Stockholm!
