Johannes Riegger is Head of Data Analysis & Sports Technology for the 1st Team at Borussia Mönchengladbach and the club’s first real pioneer in data analysis.

His main areas are match analysis, workload management, scouting and the technology behind it. Today, much of that data comes together in a Microsoft Fabric environment, where it is processed, connected and made available for analysis.

Football has always been his biggest passion. The only thing standing between him and a great playing career was, of course, one crucial injury in his youth. So these days, he focuses on helping people understand how patterns in data can tell us more about what is actually happening on the training pitch and during matches.

Clemens Vasters is Lead Architect in Microsoft’s Azure Messaging team that builds and operates a fleet of hyper-scale messaging services, including Event Grid, Service Bus, Event Hubs, Stream Analytics and Microsoft Fabric Eventstreams. Clemens represents Microsoft in messaging standardisation in OASIS (AMQP, MQTT) and CNCF (CloudEvents, xRegistry) and writes too much code for being an "Architect". He looks back at nearly 30 years in professional software development and has seen the same fashion come and go a few times.
