O’Reilly Chief Data Scientist and Strata conference chair Ben Lorica, said: “We need to understand our data in order to reap the benefits of it. To build a solid foundation for any AI or ML strategy, businesses need to be equipped with the right tools to harness the power of their data. At the Strata conference, we aim to bring together the most influential business decision makers to share their tips and tricks on just how to do this.

“The data industry is growing so fast and we’re often subjected to ‘digital overload’. Therefore, we need to adopt technologies such as AI and machine learning to focus on how we will implement data strategies to reflect this technological driven world. The Strata Data Conference will offer technical workshops to help train attendees in collaboration, emerging architecture and security.”
