Analytics & Insights Forum

Analytics & Insights Forum

It has been said that it's not the transmission of data that is the primary issue, but what to do with the data once it arrives at its designated landing point. Given the data arrives at its destination in a variety of methods and sizes, it can be hard to process or manage. So both technology and non-technology companies are being challenged with the management of information. What to do with the information, how to govern it and how to analyze it to make the everyday decision making process more strategic and critically successful are driving the needs for industry experts to share their stories and solutions.

Mission
The Analytics & Insights Forum will bring together functional and technical experts to advance the knowledge and understanding of how data is used, identify solutions and use cases, and encourage the growth of the business intelligence and analytics community in North Texas.

Empowering the enterprise with Driverless AI - Delivering AI without an army of data scientists

Panelists TBA

The proposition of using Artificial Intelligence to improve your business is exciting.  However, are you unsure how to get started and whether you need a team of seasoned data scientists to make AI useful?  Please join us to hear a panel of enterprise organizations discuss how they employed AI solutions from H2O.ai to kick start their AI programs using tools built to empower experts as well as junior data scientists.  Hands-on sessions for business and technical people will immediately follow the panel to investigate using Driverless AI and Sparkling Water Open Source Machine Learning.  Join the Tech Titans Analytics & Insights Forum to discuss:

  • How to prepare for AI in your enterprise
  • What types of use cases deliver fast returns
  • What has worked for other organizations as they employ machine learning and AI
  • What have been the failures and how can you avoid them
  • How experienced does your team need to be to succeed
