O'Reilly Strata Conference on Big Data

I'm really honored to have been chosen to be part of the O'Reilly Strata Conference, coming up in February in Santa Clara. It is a new conference that focuses on the business and practice of data.

All industries are experiencing an explosion of data volumes. But most companies are finding it hard to keep up and make use of all the data that they generate or have access to. This is creating great opportunities for those who understand how to effectively collect and use large quantities of data.

I will be part of the Real World Applications Panel: Enterprise and Industry. My focus will be the legal industry, where I work now, and there will be two other panelists from the music and meteorological industries.

It is going to be a great event. Drop me a line if you are going to be there.
