A few notable conferences for 2011.
Government Big Data Forum 2011 – Big data is not only in the commercial space but is a challenge in the Federal Government. In what should be an interesting forum held in Washington, DC, panels include does ETL still work, de-duplication of data and sensemaking of data. – Held January 26, 2011
O’Reilly Strata Conference – Making Data Work
Big Data is here. Turning data into decisions. This will be held February 1-3, 2011 in Santa Clara, CA.
Glue Conference – As the “cloud” becomes a common platform, web applications still live in a “stovepipe” world. It’s not a question of “should we move to the cloud?” It’s a question of once some, or most, or all of our web applications live in the cloud, how do we handle the problems of scalability, security, identity, storage, integration and interoperability? What was the problem of “enterprise application integration” in the late 90s, is now the cambrian explosion of web-based applications that will demand similar levels of integration. The problem, put simply, is how to “glue” all of these apps, data, people, work-flows, and networks together. – Held May 25-26 in Broomfield, CO
Defrag Conference. November 9-10, 2011 in Broomfield, CO.
