Knowledge is Power, Data is Oil, Convergence is an Engine

We are living in a world driven by the combustion of data, powering a technology enabled acceleration of just about every facet of our lives.  If we want to live lives empowered by this potential and not find ourselves choking on digital exhaust, we need to understand how to harness this energy.  Understanding the process of refining light sweet crude data through context and understanding into knowledge requires an understanding the engine you’re feeding.  In this talk we will consider the difference that convergence makes – taking into account what we know together versus what together we know – and how that helps us build an engine for progress.  Ultimately, we will also come to an understanding of the great responsibility that is required of anyone driving forward on a knowledge powered journey.

IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS​
We'll attempt our best to realize them.

Also we will assist you, if you want to lead a project or learning group, and gain visible data science leadership.

Since the Data Science Nights, and the project- and learning groups, are organized and hosted by volunteers, we need your help.

​We encourage diversity in topics, skill levels, and academic backgrounds.
