About the talks: Harnessing the Power of Big Data
Over the last decade, we have accumulated unprecedented amounts of data from all corners of the world. Technological advancements surrounding this growth of data access and management are shaping our everyday lives and our future. Both public and private sectors have entered a digital revolution; some are using this to their advantage while others do not know how to adapt accordingly. Enterprises across every industry are now facing the need to 'adapt or die', forced to let go of their legacy technologies and learn how to capture, process, store, analyze and visualize new massive, fast-moving and diverse 'Big Data.'
In this talk, we will explore the world of Big Data, understanding the meaning behind this buzz word and why it has become so important over the last decade. We will touch on how it is being used in business today, both in small and large corporations, and why businesses are struggling to adopt new analytical ways. Finally, we will cover some related, prominent technology topics such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Participation in the event is free of charge, however, possible only upon prior registration.
