        WHO:
  TDWI (tdwi.org),  the leading event source for analytics, big data, and data science training, has  announced the tracks and sessions for our 2017 TDWI Las Vegas conference,  taking place February 12-17. Our theme for this year is “Data Insight for the  Enterprise. For more than 20  years, TDWI has been raising the intelligence of data leaders and their teams  with in-depth, easily applied education and research, and an engaged worldwide  membership community. More than 90% of the Fortune 100 rely on TDWI for their analytics and data research, education, and  training.
WHAT:
  TDWI Las Vegas, the leading  conference for analytics and data management training, addresses our greatest  data challenge head-on—harnessing the power of data and analytics to extract  high-value insights that enable faster, smarter business decisions. Analytics  requires a team with a spectrum of skills — from architecture, data management,  and data preparation to data analysis, visualization, data storytelling, and  more.
TDWI Las Vegas features over 50 in-depth, vendor-neutral courses on all  things analytic, organized into five thematic tracks: Data and Analytics  Foundations, Data Science A to Z, Leading with Data, Managing Data for  Analytics Insight, and Data Analysis and Discovery. TDWI Las Vegas builds on  the incredible event growth shown by TDWI in 2016 with new sessions created by  industry experts on the fastest growing topics IT departments want to know  about, including expanded courses on the Internet of Things, predictive  analytics and machine learning, and data streaming.
Two special programs will also be offered in Las Vegas during TDWI. The  TDWI Leadership Summit focuses on the intersection of business and technical  issues facing companies as they adopt and expand their data-centric businesses.  The Leadership Summit, curated by TDWI vice president and senior director of  research Fern Halper, brings together “those who have done it before” to share  their experiences and insights with a select group of business and technical  leaders from top companies. 
Also, coming off a successful debut at TDWI San Diego, the Data Science  Bootcamp will be offered in Las Vegas. The Data Science Bootcamp is an intensive  two-day experience that takes students through the skills and knowledge  required to start a career as a data scientist. Successful completion of the  course earns the student a TDWI Certificate, as well as continuing education  credit for the bootcamp. 
All TDWI Las Vegas sessions are created and taught by instructors who  are experts in both data and analytics, and teaching. Unlike other conferences,  TDWI Las Vegas features only full- and half-day courses to ensure sufficient time  to learn the topic in depth and ask relevant questions of the instructor. 
Finally, the TDWI Exhibit Hall features over 20 leading vendors in big  data, analytics, data streaming and data management. Attendees have a chance to  see demos of the latest solutions, discuss individual data requirements, and  get answers to their questions during dedicated exhibit hours.
