Big data, which has been the hot topic for conferences this year, has also received a good deal of attention on Capitol Hill in recent weeks, most notably with two recent events:
- The ACT-IAC discussion with Congressional staff members on Big Data at the Hill – Defining and Understanding Policy Implications
- The TechAmerica Foundation’s release of its Big Data Commission report, “Demystifying Big Data: A Practical Guide to Transforming the Business of Government,” “roadmap to using big data to better serve the American people.”
As one who represents a population of data scientists, a group for which the TechAmerica says there is growing demand, I have seen quite a few–and written a number of–articles about recent big data conferences:
- Predictive Analytics World for Government
- Linkedin Provides Big Data Results on Growing and Shrinking Industries for White House
