FEATURING REGISTER  |  PROGRAM  |  SHOWCASE  |  SPONSOR  |  VENUE   Tuesday Keynote Announced: Ben Wellington of I Quant NY The creator of I Quant NY, a data science and policy blog that focuses on insights drawn from New York City's public data, Ben Wellington, advocates the analysis of open data to affect policy. The Open Data movement is growing, and governments are releasing vast amounts of data to the public. As citizens push for more transparency, it is fair to ask what we can actually do to derive actionable insights from this data. How can this data help us improve the cities we live and work in, whether we are policymakers, businesses, or residents? Wellington explores how he's used his blog and some simple data science techniques to make changes in New York City. He discusses best practices for data science in the policy space, explores how storytelling is an important aspect of data science, and highlights the various data-driven interactions he's had with city agencies. He contends that data science need not use complicated math: It's often more about curiosity and the questions we ask than the complexity of the equations we use.  Hear more on Tuesday, May 10 9:00 a.m. - 9:45 a.m. WELCOME & KEYNOTE - How Statistics (And a Little Public Data) Can Change a City Register today to SAVE $100  off your conference pass and  be there for this keynote!  IOUG Track at Data Summit Once again in 2016 the IOUG (Independent Oracle Users Group) will join us to help develop the Data Summit program into the most comprehensive conference on information management and big data for technology and database professionals.  The IOUG track at the Data Summit will focus on big data in the cloud and the evolution of the data warehouse.
