ABOUT DATACONOMY

events, news and industry analysis in the Big Data arena.

Opportunities:
Dataconomy offers a platform for companies to reach into the crucial crossover between Data
Science and Business. Big Data is driving tremendous growth in the tech industry, but this rapid
development has created a disconnect between the practitioners and the business side who are
figuring out how these technologies can best be applied.
Dataconomy covers the business applications of Big Data across a range of industries, including
Healthcare, Retail, Automotive, Finance, and Energy. We help pioneering brands share their
success stories, and host expert commentary from leading experts in Data Science, Machine
Learning, Business Intelligence, Database Technology, from techncial and business perspectives.
Headquartered in Berlin, and with ties to the US, Dataconomy has the unique position of being a
leading media organisation with access to the booming Big Data industry on both sides of the
Atlantic. In addition to providing a leading portal for Big Data news, Dataconomy runs regular
industry events, uniting local Big Data communities in an effort to share knowledge and expand
networks.

SOME OF OUR PAST SPEAKERS
TOPIC GUIDELINES
SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES
Share your vision directly with a large and engaged audience of developers, data scientists, IT
specialists, executives, students and enthusiasts.
Please note: Demand for speaker slots is high, and if you are looking to speak at a particular event
you can reserve a place by becoming a sponsor.
dataconomy
Business & Tech Our audience is interested in the applications and implications of data science -
The innovations that are enabled by technology, rather than the technology enabling innovations.
Not Product Centric You can mention your product as a part of your talk, but this is not an
opportunity for a sales pitch. Inspiring stories are more engaging and memorable.
7. WHAT TO EXPECT
dataconomy
Big Data Berlin – The Biggest Big Data Meetup in Germany
On the 28th of August, 2014, the Big Data community of Berlin came together in the aptly named
Innospace (Innovation Space) for Big Data, Berlin. Over 350 people attended, providing an
incredible cross-section of business and data science interests from Europe’s Silicon Valley.
The venue — which usually caters to a max audience of 200 people — was filled with developers,
innovators and executives. The objective? To network, collaborate and interact. The unprecedented
turnout made this the largest big data event in Berlin.
Unlike other events the capital has hosted, Big Data, Berlin was aimed at bringing the whole of big
data ecosystem together under one roof — from business professionals to software developers and
data enthusiasts. “In Berlin there are events that are very tech focussed and there needs to be an
event that appeals to a general audience. This event fills that need,” Adam Drake explained.
Three of Berlin’s leading thinkers – Adam Drake, Rafaella Rein and Lars Trieloff – shared their
opinions about Big Data’s impact on business and society. One of the main reasons so many of
Berlin’s brightest minds were magnetised to the event, was the star speaker: Doug Laney. Currently
working as the VP for Gartner, Laney is the man who invented the 3 V’s of Big Data- a definition still
widely used, 13 years after its conception.
Dataconomy’s Editor, Rohan Patil, explained that this event was only the beginning. Big Data, Berlin
is designed as an initiative to “bring the Berlin big data community on one platform,” he said.
They’re already planning their next gathering, slated for the 23rd October. One week later, the
franchise is bringing their blend of data science and business acumen to Munich, for the inaugural
evening of Big Data Munich.

“From the perspective of a CTO, I’m interested in knowing about the
latest technologies, tools and applications in data science, and how
business are benefiting from these. For the past 2-3 years, there has not
been an event in Berlin that has adequately achieved this, until Big Data
Berlin.”
- Thorsten Bleich, CTO at Datamonk
“In order to quickly ramp up and connect in the area of big data,
Dataconomy is a great platform for me. Not just providing articles and
news around the topic, especially the meetings are packed with
insightful presentations from customers, vendors and providers - not to
forget the possibility to network and discuss opportunities. Especially
combining the business AND the technology perspective is a great plus
for me.”
- Maik Schmalstich, Cloud & Big Data Expert
