The Big Data Summit is the second annual convergence of software, systems, tools and techniques for managing, manipulating and interpreting data, big and small. This year’s Summit will bring together over 500 vendors, users, developers, thinkers and tinkerers from all areas of Big Data. From hardware to Hadoop, algorithms to analytics, virtualization to visualization, and data scientists to social scientists will all unite for 3 days in Kansas City to discuss the motivation and means to advance the art of Big Data and to explore the reasons why Big Data is such a big story. This year’s hackathon will blow all hackathons away. Major cash prizes, world-class tools and well-designed projects should spark the gathering of the area’s best and brightest minds.
