Boston Data and AI Saturday 2026 brings together data professionals, database administrators, developers, engineers, analysts, and technology enthusiasts for a day of learning, networking, and technical education. Organized by SQLSaturday and the New England SQL Server User Group (NESQL), this free community event offers attendees the opportunity to learn from industry experts and explore the latest developments in SQL Server, PostgreSQL, data platforms, analytics, and AI.

In my session, The Analyst's Soft Skills Playbook: Turning Data Into Decisions, we'll explore why great analysis alone is rarely enough to drive action. While analysts are trained to deliver accurate insights, they're often not taught how to influence decisions, tell compelling stories, or build stakeholder buy-in. Drawing on research from communication, change management, and data storytelling, I'll share a practical playbook for helping analytics professionals make insights more memorable, persuasive, and actionable. Attendees will leave with proven frameworks they can immediately use to communicate more effectively and increase the impact of their work.
