Big Data Technology Symposium

Name: Big Data Technology Symposium
Start: 2013-03-12
End: 2013-03-12
Location: JW Marriott

Big data projects are found all around us, and many of us have one attached to our hand all day. Apple’s personal assistant technology, Siri, began as a big data project in the Pentagon laboratory, priding itself on the ability to collect, store, analyze and disseminate practically any data you throw at it – structured or unstructured. But Siri isn’t the only government big data project that has recently gained traction. Last March, the White House announced that the federal government would be contributing $200 million to support its Big Data Initiative, which promotes big data projects and technologies.

Through the implementation of big data programs, agencies are looking to increase efficiencies and productivity, make faster and more informed decisions, and protect national security. The Big Data Technology Symposium will create a business case for pilot programs, looking at the complete lifecycle of big data – collection, storage, analysis and taking action.

Join AFCEA Bethesda and speakers from leading federal agencies on March 12, 2013 at the JW Marriott in Washington, DC for a look at the business case surrounding big data projects and the resources, scientists, analysts and technology needed to complete them.
