What is Big Data Week all about? We’re a festival of big ideas about data.

Big Data Week is one of the most unique global platforms of interconnected community events focusing on the social, political, technological and commercial impacts of Big Data. It brings together a global community of data scientists, data technologies, data visualisers and data businesses spanning six major commercial, !nancial, social and technological sectors.

• Media and Entertainment • Retail and FMCG • Health and Science • Public and Government • Financial Sector • Social and Personal

The festival connects a number of global cities through locally hosted meetups, events, networking functions, data visualisation demo’s, debates, discussion and hackathons. Events are designed to provide a platform to educate, inform and inspire – organised by people who are passionate and knowledgeable about data.

We’re a self organising community where anyone is able to host and create an event during the festival; making the our platform completely open and community driven

We live at bigdataweek.com

What did we do in 2012? We started something that’s going to be BIG.

Big Data Week is one year old, but we have been successful in bringing together a global community of entrepreneurs, data professionals and data driven organisations.

In 2012 we were hosted in 9 major cities; Helsinki, Canberra, Berlin, Melbourne, Chicago, London, New York and San Francisco. We were successful in tapping into the enthusiasm of key in!uencers and motivated individuals in the big data communities; creating a dynamic energy for the community to ‘self-organise’ and curate over 50 events and meetups; energising and bringing together over 2000 people across the festival.

Big Data Week also created unique opportunities for our partners to connect with key decision makers in technology, business, science and media.

And we are doing it all again in 2013, but BIGGER. Get Involved! bigdataweek.com

20 countries and 200+ meetups

We don’t do things by halves. We have partnered with media140 Worldwide – the hugely successful social event community team to design, produce and create a BIG experience for 2013.

The festival will connect major cities including

• London • Shanghai • Kuala Lumpur • Washington • Berlin • Moscow • Barcelona • Perth • Chicago

with others being announced in March 2013. The festival is focusing this year on extending it’s reach into cities in Asia Paci!c and Australasia.

We’ll be leading with six themes all design to create unique opportunities for our community, technology visionaries, technology companies to put data into action in ways that can bene!t each sector.

• Media and Entertainment • Retail and FMCG • Health and Science • Public and Government • Financial Sector • Social and Personal
