This is Torsten's story - and it is hard to imagine the Munich Datageeks without him.

1️⃣ Do you remember your first Munich Datageeks meetup experience?Sure, that must have been one of the first Datageeks meetups; it took place at TrustYou. Miguel and Flo founded the meetup, and I was immediately a fan of the idea.

2️⃣ What initially motivated you to join our community?I was just finishing my doctoral thesis and had recently moved to Munich. The opportunity to meet like-minded people right away immediately fascinated me.

3️⃣ "From the Community for the Community" - what does this mean to you?Everything, it means absolutely everything to me! That's the basic idea behind our meetups: everything we do is for the community, not for me, not for the board or the association, not for the sponsors, nor for anyone else. It's always about the people, the data geeks.

4️⃣ Wild prediction: What will Datageeks meetup #200 look like in 2030?In a panel discussion, Sam Altman, Uli Hoeneß, and an AGI in the body of Donald Duck discuss why humanity, despite having access to all-encompassing knowledge and infinite intelligence, still uploads 200 million videos with makeup tips to TikTok every day.

5️⃣ Complete this sentence: "You know you're a true Munich Datageek when…"… you don’t go to a meetup to benefit from it, but to help others and give something back.

🕶️ Thanks a lot, Torsten up to the next 10 years.
