September 16, Bend, OR
The big data era enabled organizations to store more data at a lower cost, and process data more quickly and efficiently. Organizations now seek ways to transform their data into meaningful insights, insights that inspire new products, drive revenue, or enable automation that impacts the bottom line.
Machine learning is at the center of this next wave of innovation and growth. But to use new algorithms effectively, organizations should first understand how they work, the reality vs. the hype, and the unique challenges and opportunities to the private sector and society at large.
On September 16th, machine learning practitioners from around the country will gather to discuss the ethics and practical business realities of these emerging technologies.
