If you've ever wondered how you could use big data at your library,
there's an opportunity to learn more at a first-ever conference next
week in Grand Rapids, Big Data Ignite <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bigdataignite.com/">http://www.bigdataignite.com/</a><br>
<br>
The first day has several workshops geared towards the more
technical among us while the second day has sessions that are more
accessible for non-technical people who see the potential in using
big data to make greater impact and better decisions in our work.
Sasha Issenberg, author of The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of
Winning Campaigns will deliver the keynote and presenters from
Amazon, the State of Michigan, the Van Andel Institute, Dell,
Cloudera, and more offer a variety of topics in breakout sessions.<br>
<br>
Not quite sure? The videos at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bigdataignite.com/promo-video/">http://www.bigdataignite.com/promo-video/</a> will tell you a bit more
about what to expect and at the end of the second there's a 25%
discount code you can use.<br>
<br>
And if that isn't incentive enough, ArtPrize
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.artprize.org/">http://www.artprize.org/</a> will be in full swing.<br>
<br>
Hope to see you in GR next week!<br>
