O'Reilly Strata Conference New York 2012

Now in its second year in New York, the O’Reilly Strata Conference explores the change brought to technology and business by big data, data science, and pervasive computing. Joining forces this year with Hadoop World, Strata is at the heart of the big data industry.

Strata New York brings together decision makers using the power of big data to drive business strategy and practitioners who collect, analyze, and manipulate the data—particularly in the worlds of finance, media, and government. The merger of Strata and Hadoop World will be the largest gathering of the Apache Hadoop community, with emphasis on hands-on and business sessions on the Hadoop ecosystem.

Strata Conference and Hadoop World are happening October 23-25 at the Hilton New York.

Unprecedented computing power and connectivity are bringing new layers of experience to our lives: a change that brings both opportunity and the challenge of new technologies and skills. The future belongs to those who understand how to collect and use their data successfully.

Strata Conference offers the nuts-and-bolts of building a data-driven business—the latest on the skills, tools, and technologies you need to make data work.

Redefining Computing for the Next Ten Years

It’s not just about faster and cheaper. Data is changing the definition of computing, infusing new layers of experience and understanding into our lives. Data presents fresh opportunities, and the challenge of new technologies and skills.

From mobile to cloud and beyond, powerful and readily available computing resources are fueling an explosion in our ability to create, consume, process, and package information. New techniques in data processing enable us to transform and analyze at scale, and with unprecedented agility. The intersection of technology, math, and entertainment gives us new ways to visualize, experience, and interact with a world of information.

From big data to augmented reality and beyond, Strata will be at the center of the way computing is changing for practitioners, enterprises, and the individual.
