Her keynote "From aggregation to orchestration: how to become a large-scale data innovator" will focus on these difficulties and the possibility to avoid at least some of them. 

The times when data science teams could focus only on building and optimizing models is long past. Across sectors, data science has become a critical component of corporate strategy, and an increasing number of business decisions are being informed (and, in some cases, automatically taken) by its fruits. The major challenge is thus no longer simply building the right models but rather on companies' ability to scale: scale their infrastructure, scale their data prototypes, scale the number of prototypes deployed to production, and, above all else, to scale the their people, both in terms of numbers and in terms of capabilities.

In this keynote, we will go through several use cases to better understand how companies can orchestrate their data work among their people, processes, and tools to build a sustainable data culture and practice for the future. Data Science Studio by Dataiku, DSS, is a software platform that aggregates all the steps and big data tools necessary to get from raw data to production-ready predictive applications.

Recently, Big Data has become a megatrend.

Big Data enables businesses to make better decisions based on information that already exists in their enterprise systems.

As in many other areas of business activity, there are also challenges with the use of Big Data. Technically speaking, the information must be extracted and assembled in an appropriate manner, so that it is optimal for use in marketing and other activities.

Software is eating the world! Everybody has to become software company, or die!

When software and software usage is exploding as it is today new horizons will open up as IOT and big data will reveal its true powers. With 50 billion connected devices spread upon a population of roughly 7 billion people more data will be gathered then we even can imagine. Business decision will not based on some trends on a street in New York but will be derived from real time data, all around the globe and based on billions of people! IOT and Big Data will make this happen. This though, will create some challenges for the software development industry. With an exploding amount of data that needs interfaces the lack of developers in the developed countries might make the market crumble.

We don´t think so! Let´s create a new type of software developer that can master the awesome power of the cloud and Big Data.
