Are You Big Data Ready?
Are you interested in big data? There are many reasons to come to Informatica World 2015 but one very good reason is to learn how you can become Big Data Ready! Becoming Big Data Ready is about succeeding with analytics in a Big Data world. It’s about unleashing productivity, repeatability, and confidence. Join us at Informatica World on May 12th for the Big Data Ready Summit, the industry’s first event dedicated to making Big Data ready for analytics.

During the “Big Data Ready” Summit, you will learn how to successfully accelerate the transition from the traditional world of data management to the new world of Big Data analytics. Join us for an engaging discussion with customers, partners and industry leaders as we share best practices for data management, data governance, and data security in a Big Data world. Space is limited – add the Big Data Ready Summit to your schedule now before space runs out! If you haven’t already registered for Informatica World, register today.
After the Big Data Ready Summit, learn even more about Big Data with numerous breakout sessions throughout the week. These sessions cover everything from Hadoop-based data lakes and data hubs to Big Data integration pipelines, reference architectures, and best practices.
I encourage you to sign up for one of six Meet the Expert sessions which are small group meetings for business-level discussions around Big Data and next gen analytics in a Big Data world. If you want to see firsthand how all this Big Data technology works I encourage you to sign up for the Big Data Edition and Intelligent Data Lake Hands-On Labs.
To help start your planning, here is a listing of the Big Data Summit agenda, breakout sessions and other related activities this year. We look forward to seeing you at Informatica World 2015!
