Event Overview
In emerging industries across the nation, analytics professionals and data scientists are drawing upon a new level of specificity to individual use cases and models in delivering business solutions. For example, in the Internet of Things (IoT), the shift to event-based processing allows for real-time analytics and the ability to harmonize the IoT ecosystem and create value. As another example in sports, analytics is being used to determine which players are worth drafting, which will best fit into individual clubs; and sports enthusiasts, journalists and fans have access to systems with win-loss records to help determine the outcome of an event.
IMPACT 2016 brings together leading analytics and business practitioners who work on the cutting edge where they will share their work and professional insights with practitioners. This action-packed one-day conference will cover topics in
- New Industry – that explores application of analytics to non-traditional industries (e.g. new generation prognostics talk by Adam McElhinney)
- New Technology – that explores new analytics technologies in established industries (e.g.Use of emerging technology by SAP talk by Venkat Vasan)
- New Use Cases – that explores innovative applications to new use cases (e.g. applications in Healthcare)
