Can data play the hero during a tumultuous time in tech?

Good morning,

We're not that far into 2016, and the tech sector has already had a wild ride. Have we seen the worst, or are we in for another one of those years that Silicon Valley won't soon forget?

I can't promise Structure Data will deliver the answer to that question, but it might help offer a little clarity. We'll hear from executives and technologists at influential companies who'll share their assessments of the current climate, what the future holds, and how data analysis can play a role in turning things around.

Speakers include:

  • Chris Moody, VP of Data Strategy, Twitter
  • Rob Bearden, CEO, Hortonworks
  • Josh Wills, Director of Data Engineering, Slack
  • June Andrews, Data Scientist, Pinterest
  • Eva Tse, Director of Big Data Platforms, Netflix
  • Ron Brachman, Head of Yahoo Labs, Yahoo
  • Chris Martin, CTO, Pandora
  • Jeff Schneider, Engineering Lead, Uber ATC
  • Rob High, VP and CTO of Watson, IBM
  • John Schroeder, CEO, MapR
  • Tom Reilly, CEO, Cloudera

You will not find a better event than Structure Data to hear from, and network with, some the smartest people in technology and covering technology. One great thing about the tech industry is that it's very hard to predict what comes next, but we do know it will be exciting, world-changing and, possibly, humbling.

Register here to be part of the discussion.
