Manchester: Data Intelligence Network | Nov 2026

The November edition of Datacove's Manchester data community night, with two talks and a long networking tail. Fiona Pye, Senior Data Analyst at AutoTrader UK, talks about two years embedded in a backend development team: what moving between analytics and engineering changed about how she works, and what the developers got back in understanding of the data they produce. Jonas Almesri, co-founder of GenSight.AI, follows on AI visibility — how large language models decide which brands they see, believe, cite and recommend, and the measurement problems his team is working on as agents move from recommending to buying. Drinks and nibbles from 18:00, talks around 18:30, close at 20:00, then a nearby pub. Free, at DiSH in Heron House. Datacove runs four of these a year in Manchester. Why go: two speakers who actually do the work, on the two questions data teams are being asked right now. Best for analysts, data engineers and anyone responsible for being found by AI.
