[Michlib-l] Big Data Ignite conference next week in GR

[Marla Ehlers]

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 http://www.bigdataignite.com/

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.

Not quite sure?  The videos at http://www.bigdataignite.com/promo-video/ 
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.

And if that isn't incentive enough, ArtPrize http://www.artprize.org/ 
will be in full swing.

Hope to see you in GR next week!
Marla
