Gartner predicts that data will grow by 800% in five years, with 80% of it unstructured. The World Economic Forum recently declared big data as an asset class. We're only getting started to discover the implications of making better sense of large amounts of unstructured data to uncover business opportunities, strategies, and more. Is it really an emerging market with lots of innovation, startups, job creation? Why is it suddenly possible? What are the obstacles, and the most promising areas of opportunity? How do you make it real in your organization? Join this group of thought leaders from Accel Partners, Factual, Greenplum, SAS, @Walmartlabs, and McKinsey Global Institute for a conversation that gets beyond the hype about big data.
