ABSTRACTS

Talk #1: Angling For Insights at Big Fish Games. David Darden (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daviddarden?authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=1pIY&locale=en_US&srchid=2114422741459245272924&srchindex=1&srchtotal=56&trk=vsrp_people_res_name&trkInfo=VSRPsearchId%3A2114422741459245272924%2CVSRPtargetId%3A17435917%2CVSRPcmpt%3Aprimary%2CVSRPnm%3Atrue%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH), Director of BI Engineering, Big Fish Games

Data is eating the world… but what does that mean for a company that is data driven, can't afford an army of developers and PhD's, and where (your) data isn't actually the product? We'll talk about how we've used data to help make our company more successful (and maybe some missteps along the way). We'll start with an overview of the Big Fish Games approach to building a Logical Data Warehouse (which includes Netezza, Hadoop, Tableau, and various other technologies), organizational approach, and how we use data and technology to make an impact on the business. We'll then move in to a 'choose your own adventure' style presentation where we'll dive in to areas the audience is interested in (aww… you were probably hoping for a bunch of slides, weren't you?). Topics may include what we use for query federation, the different types of data we capture, how we approach 'BI as a service' internally, integrating data across multiple platforms, and our approach to democratizing data across the organization. Feel free to post anything you'd like to see as a topic in the comments section.

Talk #2: Dataiku Data Science Studio for faster and smarter car parking, Vincent de Stoecklin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincentdestoecklin?authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=n5As&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2CclickedEntityId%3A75956606%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1459245357984%2Ctas%3AVincent%20de%20Stoecklin) at Dataiku

Dataiku will present a client use case detailing all the steps from raw data to innovative data product. By working with DSS, Parkeon (leader of parking payment solutions) developed Path to Park, combining internal data assets with external data sources to create a predictive application that helps city-dwellers find parking spots faster.

• initial challenge and existing data assets

• end-to-end data science project - from design to production

• tools, people and processes - moving toward a data driven organisation

Talk #3: Apache Arrow: A New Era of Columnar In-Memory Analytics, Tomer Shiran (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tshiran?authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=6w1y&locale=en_US&trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3Amynetwork%2CclickedEntityId%3A4261256%2CauthType%3ANAME_SEARCH%2Cidx%3A1-1-1%2CtarId%3A1459245454399%2Ctas%3ATomer%20Shiran), Co-Founder and CEO at Dremio

Apache Arrow introduces a new era of columnar in-memory analytics. Arrow can accelerate Big Data analysis by 10-100x, while also enabling users to combine multiple systems and programming languages without the traditional serialization/deserialization overhead. Over a dozen open source projects are already on board, including Drill, Ibis, Impala, Kudu, Pandas, Parquet and Spark. In this talk we'll provide an overview of Apache Arrow, including both the technology and several example applications.

Talk #4: Apache Flink 1.0: Real-World Use Cases, Slim Baltagi, Director Big Data Engineering at Capital One

This talk explains how Apache Flink 1.0 announced on March 8th, 2016 by the Apache Software Foundation, marks a new era of Big Data analytics and in particular Real-Time streaming analytics. The talk will map Flink's capabilities to real-world use cases that span multiples verticals such as: Financial Services, Healthcare, Advertisement, Oil and Gas, Retail and Telecommunications.

In this talk, you learn more about:

1. What is Apache Flink Stack?

2. The movement from Batch Analytics to Streaming Analytics

3. Key Differentiators of Apache Flink for Streaming Analytics

4. Real-World Use Cases with Flink for Streaming Analytics

5. Who is using Flink?

6. Where do you go from here?

Talk #5

Drilling into Data with Apache Drill, Tug Grall (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tugdualgrall), Technical Evangelist at MapR

Apache Drill is a next-generation SQL engine for Hadoop and NoSQL. Its unique schema-free approach enables self-service data exploration with the agility that organizations need in this new era of rapidly growing and evolving data.

In this talk, based on demonstrations, you will understand the key features and architecture of Apache Drill. You will also see how to get started with Drill; and start query, using SQL, various data sources such as Hive, Parquet, Avro, and NoSQL (HBase, MapR-DB, Mongo and more) but also more complex data structure stored in JSON documents.

You will learn also how you can extend Drill to create user defined function that brings your SQL on Everything to the next level.
