Events

The Business Analytics Symposia are a series of interconnected learning and networking events focused on the analytics community. Each is designed to bring together business decision makers and IT professionals in an environment of collaboration, equipping them with the tools to better solve real business problems.

This symposia focus on techniques and strategies to effectively frame problems, and to identify and apply best-fit analytic techniques to solve those problems. Sessions are vendor-neutral and free from sales and marketing content. Vendor exhibits outside of the session rooms showcase the leading edge of analysis tools and technologies. The last day of the symposium offers in-depth case studies from several vendors on their best practice approaches.
