  According to IDC, the big data market will grow from $3.2 billion in 2010 to $16.9 billion by 2015. This growth represents a massive opportunity for startups and large IT vendors alike.  The development of data science, more powerful tools for analysis, virtualization, and evolving cost structures are all changing the face of data.

  What does the investment landscape look like, and what are the trends to watch for in 2013? Where are the top business opportunities? How are enterprise executives approaching big data? Why is there a need for real-time analytic tools? Should you build a data science team?

   

  Come to this forum and hear what some experts have to say about the exciting field of big data.
