Overview
1,053 analytics professionals from 409 organizations in 29 countries and 44 US states came together last year for the inaugural Analytics Conference Series. They had an educational and networking experience that surpassed all expectations.Though it was the first gathering under this new name, the conference is the result of a major merger between SAS' massively popular data mining M-series and its go-to event for forecasting professionals, the F-series. Combining these two powerhouse conferences provides analytics professionals access to a wide range of case studies, technical presentations and hands-on training, all in one place.
Conference Highlights
This conference is the top-choice for serious education and networking opportunities. Highlights include"I enjoyed Analytics 2011 because I was with SAS people, talking analytics, and completely immersed in statistical stuff. Great people, great company, and it got me fired up about what I do for a living. It's addictive being around all those smart people, and I left wanting more."
