Presentation: "Keep your options open” by Nick Ryberg of USBank |
|
Abstract
While tools like Tableau can make it much easier to gather, combine, explore, understand and explain data, it’s still never a guaranteed solution. The world of data sources is broad and I’ll talk about the importance of maintaining a large toolkit of technologies and techniques to gather, prep and sometimes even analyze data. I’ll talk about the pros and cons of using scripting tools, professional ETL suites, and even just good old Excel. I’ll demo some of the challenges and offer up some online opportunities to hone your skills and “keep your options open”. |
10:00 – 10:15 am |

Presentation: "Putting Usage at the center of Big Data” by Martin Hyndman of Thomson Reuters |
|
Abstract
At the heart of the IoT is the assumption that Users can be persistently identified and tracked 24x7. Professional Information users, quite rightly, have Privacy and Security concerns that create challenges for Information Providers.
This presentation explores use cases that could provide the reasons for Professional Users to embrace tracking; creating new opportunities for collaboration and engagement beyond today’s social media platforms. |
