 UNLEASH THE POWER OF YOUR DATA AT DATA SUMMIT 2019
Welcome to the Data Summit and Cognitive Computing & AI Summit conferences. We’re delighted to
be back in Boston and to greet all of you at the conferences.
At Data Summit 2019, you’ll hear speakers give their practical experiences within these six tracks:
Moving to a Modern Data Architecture, Competing on Analytics, Data Lake Boot Camp, Building the
Data-Driven Future, Digital Transformation, and DataOps Boot Camp. At the Cognitive Computing & AI
Summit, our speakers address the important issues facing these new technologies. I particularly call
your attention to the panel discussion on Wednesday about ethics.
This year we’ve added a session called Data and Donuts (yes, there will be donuts!) to get your
Wednesday off to a sweet start. I encourage you to network with other attendees and chat further with
speakers. Visit the exhibit area to see new and exciting products. And don’t forget the reception in the
Data Solutions Showcase.

Cognitive Computing & AI Summit

A new era of cognitive computing has already begun, and its impact is being felt across industries, from healthcare and
financial services to manufacturing and education. However, building cognitive systems and applications that can perform
specific, humanlike tasks in an intelligent way is far from easy. This one of-a kind-event is an intense, 2-day immersion
into the leading cognitive computing and AI use cases, strategies, and technologies that every organization should know
about. If you are on the front lines of AI and cognitive computing, this summit is for you.
Designed for chief information officers, chief data officers, data scientists, data engineers, enterprise architects, systems architects, application
developers, and tech-savvy business leaders.
