Big Data Summit Testimonials

 

Here's what our past attendees had to say:

"The format gave us, as a vendor, a relaxed environment in which to engage with C-level decision makers, which is traditionally a difficult gig to put together. The event was thoroughly productive for our company and we're progressing a couple of opportunities as we speak."

Account Director

"This event was much more productive than other summits or conferences. The business vertical focus is very important because everyone has the same interests, needs, and business problems to solve. My expectations were exceeded. This is a winning format."

Global Account Manager

"The audience was a great mix of commercial and public sector organizations. Thus, it was one single audience that we are rarely able to meet with in a single setting. It struck me, that while we can have one to one meetings with these customers virtually anytime, the benefit of the conference is being in one location and meeting with multiple customers. The event was a very effective use of time and effort."

GM, Health & Life Sciences

"I felt like I just cut about a month out of my sales cycle, at least. This was the first event of this type that I have attended and I felt it was very direct and on target. The sessions were perfect in the time needed."

Major Account Representative

"This was a well organized and productive event. Specifically, small group and scheduled executive meetings result in quality conversations with prospective clients. This summit was a big improvement compared with traditional conferences, specifically, quality meetings with executives."

VP, Business Development

Dealing with Big Data: Planning for and Surviving the Petabyte Age The concept of “big data” is gaining attention across industries and the globe, thanks to the growth in social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc.) and the explosion of rich content from other information sources (activity logs from the Web, proximity and wireless sources, etc.).

Analytic Databases for Big Data According to TDWI Research’s 2011 Big Data Analytics Survey, 33% of surveyed organizations are contemplating a replacement of their analytic databases, data warehouses, and similar platforms to keep pace with new and intensifying requirements for advanced analytics in a “big data” world.
