Just returned home after an incredible week at ACM SIGMOD PODS 2025 in Berlin. We truly have a vibrant and inspiring community. A huge thank you to the general chair Volker Markl as well as local organizers who managed to run the largest SIGMOD ever with ~1300 participants, and to Azza Abouzied and Joe Hellerstein for their outstanding work as PC chairs. As several people asked, I also linked the slides from my talks and the panel sessions I have been involved in.
