When: Wednesday, March 7 at 11:00 AM
Where: LL21 C/D

What: “Data at Scale and Speed: Real-world Use Cases”
Ted Dunning, chief application architect at MapR will present “Data at Scale and Speed: Real-world Use Cases.” Using a series of real-world use cases ranging from machine learning pipelines to sensor data processing at the IoT edge to record-setting fraud prevention in finance, Ted will demonstrate how to level up the ability to extract value from data.
When: Wednesday, March 7 at 1:50 PM
Where: LL20 B

What: “DataOps: An Agile Methodology for Data-Driven Organizations”
Ellen Friedman, principal technologist at MapR, will present “DataOps: An Agile Methodology for Data-Driven Organizations.” In this session, Ellen offers an overview of DataOps and explains how to implement it, the steps needed to build a DataOps approach and the connection between DataOps and microservices.
When: Wednesday, March 7 at 2:40 PM
Where: LL21 E/F

What: “Better Machine Learning Logistics with the Rendezvous Architecture”
In this session, Ted Dunning, chief application architect, offers an overview of the rendezvous architecture, developed to be the “continuous integration” system for machine learning models, describing the motivation and design of the rendezvous architecture and giving a user’s-eye view of how it feels to roll new services into production.
When: Wednesday, March 7 at 5:10 PM
Where: LL21 E/F

What: “The Changing Role of the CDO: Three Keys for Success”
