Knowing how to quickly create advanced analytical models and deploy them efficiently is the true calling card of the data-driven enterprise. 

Join us as ACM Kansas City has helped bring Pivotal Analytics Day to Kansas City, a day-long event for data professionals, where you will learn how to roll out successful analytics initiatives while avoiding traps that lead to delays and setbacks. Participants will get practical advice and best practices for building a data-driven enterprise from a seasoned team of data and analytics experts. All sessions and lunch are complimentary.

Morning Sessions: For business and data professionals who want to better understand how to evolve their data and analytics capabilities to meet their business strategies and objectives.

Afternoon Workshop: A hands-on training for technical practitioners. You'll learn the best practices for analytics in a guided exercise with a Pivotal data science expert. Due to technical requirements, this session is limited to the first 20 registrants. 

Technical Prerequisites: Since the workshop is hands-on, we encourage all participants to bring their own laptops. If your organization does not allow you to bring your laptop to the class, please let Pivotal know by emailing [email protected] no later than three days before the event. The workshop will be using Pivotal-provided Microsoft Azure clusters for all exercises. Windows students will need an SSH program installed such as MobaXterm (recommended). MacOS students can use the standard terminal application.
