Presenters

 
With each passing minute, organizations face an exponential increase in the amount and complexity of data that moves in, out and through their enterprise.  Today, the need to make fact-based decisions – not only faster, but with more accuracy, and using analytics to drive business transformation -- is no longer a wish list item.  How companies corral, manage and leverage large and continuously changing data sets is now mission critical – and those that do it well will earn the right to compete in the coming years.
 
How do companies successfully integrate multiple datasets and then mine them for actionable insights?  What strategies do they use to interpret and leverage continuously changing business drivers like customer behavior, online insights and competitive intelligence?  How can you learn from their pioneering steps – and missteps?
 
Join us at Computerworld’s Big Data Symposium where you can immerse yourself in advice-packed sessions on how to prepare for the big data future.  Whether you need clear directions on how to create a big data strategy, or how to optimize one that’s already underway, you’ll find sessions that focus on how to align IT with the initiative that works best for your business. Big Data practitioners and thought leaders will present on a wide range of topics including:
  • How to assess which Big Data tools work best
  • Understanding the avalanche of structured and unstructured data coming into the enterprise
  • Making sense of Big Data in the cloud
  • Big Data security and risk management
  • Building a Big Data infrastructure: the network challenge
  • How to leverage technologies and solutions like Hadoop, MapReduce and Cassandra
  • Best practices on how to use Hbase, Hive and Pig to analyze data in real time in the Hadoop environment
  • How to clearly define the Big Data challenge in order to make a business case for tackling it in your organization
 
When you attend, you’ll not only network with experts and peers, but you’ll meet and hear from leading Big Data practitioners and thought leaders who will share best practices, actionable advice and ways to build a strategy that fits your organization’s particular needs.
