Revere Hotel/Boston Common, Boston, MA USA

Overview

Who Attends

Those leading and/or involved in efforts to better utilize analytics in the insurance and financial services business, whether you represent the business or technology side.

Highlights

Big data, predictive analytics, and advanced analytics are critical to staying relevant in today’s insurance and financial services industry. This conference brings you high-level industry presenters and actionable content which will provide insights into the way insurance and financial services companies are harnessing the value in their data.

This year's program seeks to take full advantage of the Boston, MA location, which many call the big data capital of the world. Both structured and informal networking sessions provide plenty of opportunity to forge new professional contacts.

With interactive demonstrations, problem solving exercises, and hands-on training, you will increase your knowledge base and develop skills necessary to shine light on your data.


Pre-Conference Seminar

Conference registrants are invited to participate in a pre-conference Applied Analytics Experience, geared for those who are newer to data analytics. Based on the enthusiastic feedback from last year's sold-out seminar, we are also excited to announce that this year's event will be expanded to a full day! The experience will take place on Monday, June 20th with an overview of how to approach a “big data” problem. Attendees will be grouped into teams, given a data set, a computer, and a data problem to solve. Each team will have a different tool set to work with and a tutorial on how to utilize the tool. This innovative seminar will conclude with presentations of your results and shared learning.

Hurry to register as seating is limited to 40!
