The Great Lakes Data & Analytics Summit is coming up on March 9-11, 2021 and is the premier event for analytics professionals, data scientists and IT leaders. This year, we invite you and your colleagues to join us for an engaging, virtual experience designed to learn new strategies, explore innovative ideas and network with peers in a brand-new way!

Here are five reasons to attend this year’s virtual event:

 

1.) A virtual platform designed for you.

The Great Lakes Data & Analytics Summit has “digitally transformed” from a one-day in-person event to a three-day virtual experience that offers live presentations from practitioners, leading technology experts, keynote speakers and a virtual exhibit space. This new, flexible and convenient format allows attendees to engage when they can throughout the week.

 

2.) Three-hours of live, expert content each day.

Influential keynote speakers will address significant and timely trends in data and analytics and offer three-hours of live content each day:

 

Day One – Tuesday, March 9: Data Analytics

Live-streamed sessions this day will focus on data analytics and include presentations from Jackson National Life Insurance, American Hospital Association, and Qlik.

Day Two – Wednesday, March 10: Data Science

Live-streamed sessions this day will include presentations on data science from AAA Life Insurance, Stellantis (formerly FCA), Dataiku, and Steelcase.

 

Day Three – Thursday, March 11: Data Engineering

Live-streamed sessions will focus on data engineering with presentations from General Motors, TIBCO, Signet Jewelers, and Incorta.

 

3.) We bring you stories from experience.

In our live sessions, presenters from local companies will share their experiences and best practices using the latest technology including analytics enablement, effective dashboards to support clients and stakeholders, building a data science Center of Excellence, storing your data in the cloud, workflow automation and data visualization.

 

4.) A new twist on sponsor exhibits and peer networking.

Visit the virtual exhibit hall to learn about innovative technologies that are solving real business problems. Attendees can connect directly with technologists at their virtual exhibit booth through scheduling 1:1 video meetings, chat and by requesting demos in their virtual platform. This year’s sponsors include Dataiku, Incorta, Qlik, TIBCO, Snowflake, Microsoft and more. Also, you can virtually connect with other attendees during networking breaks to share findings and best practices!
