Data Science Symposium 2022 culminates with a networking reception in the Lindner Hall atrium, where appetizers and a hosted bar are available. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and reception food and drink are included in the registration fee.
“The Data Science Symposium showcases keynotes and presentations focused on advances in methodologies, tools, and technologies in data science. This equips leaders and practitioners with the most up-to-date industry trends to drive their data science efforts to success,” said Glenn Wegryn, executive director, Center for Business Analytics. “This is the first in-person Symposium since 2019, and though the Center provided virtual events in the interim, nothing can really replace when folks can get together in person to network and learn from each other.”
