Federal Big Data Summit: Solving Real Problems with Big Data

On March 4, 2014, the U.S. Government’s Office of Science and Technology Policy released a Request For Information on Big Data. This RFI came in response to President Obama calling for senior government officials to review how Big Data will affect the way Americans live and work, and the implications of collecting, analyzing and using Big Data for the economy, privacy and public policy.

The Federal Big Data Summit: Solving Real Problems With Big Data will continue the dialogue, addressing the latest challenges facing Federal agencies as they work to address this Presidential mandate.

Among the topics to be discussed:

• Big Data in Healthcare
• Big Data for Open Government
• Transparency and Oversight
• Big Data for Mission Support and Enabling Innovation
• Big Data Project Implementations, Challenges and Opportunities

The Summit will feature a Big Data Technology Showcase demonstrating the latest technologies from leading IT innovators, and the MITRE Big Data Collaboration Sessions, where subject-matter experts from government and industry will collaborate on government data and business intelligence challenge areas. The Summit will also include keynotes, breakout sessions, and panel discussions.
