We are pleased to announce the fifth annual Data Driven WI conference to be held at the Milwaukee School of Engineering on Wednesday & Thursday July 24 & 25, 2024.  In past years, the conference has attracted 300 attendees per year, primarily from industry (50% data scientists / engineers, 25% technical managers). 

We are seeking speakers from local Wisconsin-based organizations to give talks on all aspects of data science, big data technology, and their applications in business, science, and health.  40-minute talks delivering insights driven by experiences and successful implementations of technology and/or data-driven strategies are especially valued.  This is an opportunity for you, the speaker, to help shape the landscape of the local data-driven community. Through your talk, data scientists, analytic practitioners, engineers, technologists, and business leaders will improve their knowledge and skill sets.

●      An Epic Journey -- Embedding Machine Learning in Healthcare
