The Twin Cities have become a hub for awesome data analytics events, in large part due to user groups like Minneanalytics, but also because MN organizations have realized the value of data analytics and are trying to figure out how to make it work for them.
A few of us from SmartBase attended the People Analytics Conference [PACON] last week, organized by Minneanalytics. While our team often helps clients use their data to streamline business processes and make business decisions, it was interesting to hear the specifics of how Human Resource departments from around the US are leveraging people data. PACON gave us the opportunity to geek out about data but also learn from our peers – something that we find extremely valuable.
We want to share that value with you! We’ve compiled a list of upcoming analytics events in the Minneapolis/St Paul area – some that we’ll attend and others we only wish we could. [Has anyone invented a way to add more hours to the day?] Here they are:
Big Data and Analytics
University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis Campus: Terrence Hall #252
Wednesday, April 13, 2016 from 5:30 – 7:30 PM (CDT)
1000 LaSalle Avenue Terrence Murphy Hall: Room 252, Minneapolis, MN 55403

The Details: IoT Fuse is a yearly conference that unites accomplished doers, makers and hackers with the brightest executives, entrepreneurs and innovators. This event is ‘waitlist only’ but I suggest you sign up anyway. Minneanalytics is good at encouraging attendees who can’t make it to cancel their ticket on Eventbrite to let others claim a spot.

Tickets are only $49 – a steal for the quality of speakers and topics! Keep an eye out for the SmartBase Team – we’ll be attending this event.
Big Data Tech 2016
