Big Data Day 2015 - Registration Open

Great news,

We have relaunched the website for Big Data Day LA 2015. We have spent a lot of tremendous time and effort to put together a great conference for you. Special thanks to the guys at Diamond Web Services for building us the new website and the folks at CTRL Collective for hosting us.  Due to the huge no. of submissions we have created a 5th track to accommodate all the great talks we have -  Data Science, Big Data, Hadoop/Spark, NoSQL & Business Use Cases. That is over 45 talks over the period of a day. As always this event is completely free and will sell out. Breakfast, Lunch & Coffee Breaks are part of the event and are free as well. There is a networking reception at the end where several great gadgets will be raffled off. Opt in to be a part of the marketing and get in for a chance at a great Apple iWatch. You can also win a Moto 360, Apple iPad Mini, Google Nexus 9 and others (See registration page for more details). This is the only Big Data event in SoCal that is free and vendor neutral so register before it sells out.
