She is an engaging, informative speaker on a wide range of data topics. Coming to Portland from Toronto to speak at our local DAMA chapter Nov 17th.</p> <p>The DAMA Portland Chapter is dedicated to delivering thought provoking data-centric presentations that will make you more successful in your job.</p> <h3>Details</h3> <p>A highly interactive and popular session where attendees evaluate the options and best practices of common and advanced data modeling issues, such as:</p> <ul> <li> Party/party role </li> <li> Natural vs. surrogate keys </li> <li> Agile & other modern methods </li> <li> Who does what? </li> <li> Data type precision vs delivery time </li> <li> Standards vs proprietary Modeling </li> <li> Data Modeling patterns </li> ...and more. </ul> <p>Participants in this session will be presented with an issue along with a range of responses or possible solutions. Participants will vote on their preferred response, then the group as a whole will discuss the results, along with the merits of each possible response.
