Executive Director René Bastón will keynote the Northeast Big Data conference on 11/17 at the University of New Hampshire. 

In business today, data is everywhere, and it’s a big deal. How your organization collects, analyzes and applies data is what separates you from competitors, allows you to make better decisions, and in the end, pads your bottom line. Yet, most companies don’t have the appropriate processes, procedures or personnel in place to harness the powerful data sitting right at their fingertips. Join for a deeper look at developing partnerships in big data and the growing intersection between the analytics industry and higher education.
