About Strata Jumpstart 2011

Strata Jumpstart is a crash course in how to manage the data deluge that's transforming traditional business practices across the board—in finance, marketing, sales, legal, privacy/security, operations, and HR. It's an intense, day-long deep dive for managers, strategists, and entrepreneurs who are putting the promise of big data into practice.

Why Attend

A traditional business education lacks schooling in Big Data, ubiquitous computing, and new interfaces. These tools and technologies are the secret weapon of an elite cadre of companies, each of whom is disrupting their industries. Strata Summit is the place to go to reveal these secrets and level the playing field.

Who Should Attend Strata Jumpstart

Business leaders, fast-tracked executives, and managers who want to learn how to put data to work in finance, HR, accounting, planning, compliance, competitive analysis, sales—all the disciplines of modern business.
