Event Overview:
Do we understand Big Data and its personal, professional, social and emotional implications on us?
During this lively discussion, we will review Big Data and how its evolution has become potentially revolutionary in its ability to:
• Impact policy and actions to benefit people and the planet
• Influence what we read, buy and think
• Determine our personal and financial well-being
• Affect workplace decisions such as hiring and promotion
• Diminish the importance of small data insight
• Elevate data analysis to the profession of the future (and the future is now!)
Big Data may or may not be insidious so before you make that determination, learn more about the good, the bad and the ugly!
