The theme for this fall's conference is Intelligent Data Management.
The 2018 fall Data Management Conference will again bring a diverse group of industry professionals and speakers together to explore Data Science, Business Analytics, the Internet of Things, Blockchain and Cryptography, Streaming Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Data Management, Data Modeling, Data Architecture, Data Governance, Data Stewardship, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Data Security and how Quantum Computing will affect everyone.
The Data Management Conference is an exciting multi-day learning opportunity comprised of two days of industry expert speakers and one day of hands education-focused workshops and Certification opportunities for Business, Data and Computing Professionals. This year the workshops provide a pre-conference workshop featuring both lecture based and hands on learning opportunities on subject matter including methodology, professional certification, and software.
Over the course of the conference you will learn about new innovations in our field, methodologies and case studies using creative approaches to successfully solving complex problems.
