Chief Data Scientist, USA 2017

The Data Scientist has been called 'the sexiest job of the 21st century', and for good reason. By combining computer science, mathematics, and statistics with business knowledge, the Chief Data Scientist (CDS) offers organizations the ability to utilize their data in a more exploratory manner. As the number of data sources explodes, the CDS uses the latest tools and techniques to experiment, test assumptions, and build models that answer key business questions as well as identify new opportunities and ways of working. Now in it's second year, Chief Data Scientist, USA is already seen as the premier data science conference for high-level data science practitioners to get a detailed roadmap for developing the leadership role for data science. Using an interactive format, this unique data science event will bring together 150 senior-level data science peers. Topics range from the technical (Machine Learning, Platforms & Infrastructure, IoT, real-time decisioning) to the strategic (Exploring the CDS role, Delivering business value, Communication with non-data colleagues, Talent recruitment and retention), as well as applying it all to the real world & your business (Marketing, Product Innovation, Customer Experience).
