Talk 1. Metadata: The foundation for big data analytics

Presenter: Daniel Meisner, Head of Open Data, Thomson Reuters

Thomson Reuters will discuss the value of metadata in connecting datasets to each other and real-world objects, empowering big data analytics to drive insights for decisive action.

Talk 2. Reactive Streams: The Glue of the Real-time Organization

Presenter: Kevin Webber - Enterprise Advocate, Lightbend (http://www.lightbend.com/)

ABSTRACT: The "real-time organization" reacts to information now rather than basing critical decisions on stale data. This requires re-imagining how data flows through your organization, moving away from data at rest and moving towards a completely event-based streaming architecture. Events become the lifeblood of the organization, while analytics becomes the brain. Organizations that successfully harness the power of real-time event streaming can transform analytical latencies from hours to seconds.

This session will describe a reference architecture using the Lightbend Reactive Platform and other tools that can be used to build out the real-time organization, leveraging real-time data to produce analytics that result in immediate, actionable insights.

Talk 3. Using Apache Spark to create the Internet's first audience data firewall: How Mezzobit empowers digital enterprises to regain control of online data and increase customer value

Speaker: Joseph Galarneau, CEO and co-founder, Mezzobit, New York

ABSTRACT: Every website exposes visitors to data collection and tracking by scores of third parties, which site owners can’t adequately monitor or control. The resulting data leakage siphons away revenue, slows site performance and increases compliance risk.Taming this problem requires gathering and processing billions of monthly data events per website. Mezzobit's founder talks about their Audience Value Platform and some of the insights it's gathered about the Wild West of online data.
