Structure:Data live coverage
(c) 2012 Pinar Ozger. [email protected]
In the year since we launched our inaugural data event, big data has gone through major changes. Data science is no longer something mysterious and out of reach; it’s something that your company is probably putting to use right now (or trying to figure out how to).
Today, at Structure:Data, we’ll look at how companies are transforming their businesses through big data, as well as the latest developments in the tools and technologies.
Our free livestream of the event, sponsored by Thawte and Sybase, begins at 8:25 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 21 and at 8:55 a.m. ET on Thursday, March 22.
We will be blogging the onstage sessions throughout both days and including all the links in this post. Please join the conversation on Twitter (use the #dataconf hashtag and follow @dataconf).
