The New England Chapter of the Association for Information Science & Technology, together with the Simmons College Student Chapter of ASIS&T, invite you to join us at our 2014 winter event on the topic of Big Data!
Big Data is rapidly changing the way researchers, scientists and businesses learn, compete and adapt in digital data-driven environments. The conversation is not just about what data to store, but also how to extract meaningful intelligence from all data, and this is just the beginning.
We now ask what librarians, data scientists and researchers need to know in order to prepare for the challenges of Big Data over the next 10 years.Our panelists are leading practitioners and experts in information and computer science. They will discuss their experiences with Big Data and share their insights into leading a successful career in the always-changing information field.
Student admission is $15.00 but the * first 20 GSLIS students to email [email protected] *
will receive a special eventbrite code to get in for *free!*
