It’s Big Data Week

This week, Atlanta is host to an incredible array of events for BIG DATA WEEK – an extremely unique platform of interconnected global events around the subject of Big Data. The week long festival is run by a self-organizing community – anyone can host and create an event during the symposium.  This is truly an open sourced and community driven event that brings together the top data minds of our time to provide a global perspective on the emerging trends of Big Data.

Event topics include:

• “Ways Retailers Are Leveraging Big Data”

• “MongoDB Atlanta 2013”

• “Power in Numbers: Growing Atlanta’s Data Science Talent”

• “The Future with Big Data – Featuring Speakers from Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CDC, UPS, SunTrust, McKesson, NCR and more.”

As “The Future With Big Data” event summary says,“The Big Data boom will be bigger than the Internet bubble and presents an opportunity for immense value creation. Atlanta is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity due to its diversity of sectors, from transportation to finance, logistics, retail, healthcare and more – giving it a unique edge to lead the Big Data revolution with participation from every sector.”  We couldn’t agree more!
