Data management is a top priority for organizations collecting and handling big data volumes. The software space has evolved considerably in recent years, with a slew of new tools and technologies coming to market, as well as explosive interest from enterprise companies. It’s no wonder that user conferences are becoming so popular. No matter your interest, industry or use case, there’s likely an event for you.
We do our best to provide you with the best resources, including our own buyer’s guides and best practices. Sometimes though, you need extra exposure, the kind you can only get in person.
We understand, and that’s why we’ve scoured the web and created this list of 2019’s most exciting big data and data management events and conferences to attend. If you’re looking for top-notch keynotes, interesting speeches, best practice demos, and legitimate networking opportunities, fill your calendar.
