Full Agenda Detail:

Session 1 - Adopting a Machine Learning Mindset: How to Discover, Develop, and Deliver Automation Solutions Company-Wide (10 Minutes)

Abstract:
As Machine Learning becomes a core component of any forward-looking company, how can we engage the entire workforce to help with ML and automation initiatives? This talk will cover how at Square we have adopted a "machine learning mindset" by 1. providing training to all employees (both technical and non-technical folks) on what ML is and how it works, including current applications and ethical considerations, 2. conducting structured brainstorming sessions to elicit automation opportunities, where everyone can contribute what ML could mean for their team or their customers, and 3. implementing a subset of those ideas by partnering with infrastructure, operations, and product teams, resulting in improved risk management, more efficient internal operations, and novel customer-facing product features.

Session 2 - Building an Analytics Team (10 Minutes)

Speaker:
Hillary Green-Lerman, Senior Curriculum Lead, DataCamp

Abstract:
Based on her experience of building analytics teams from the ground up, Hillary will walk through the process of creating an analytics team.

Session 3 - Building and Managing World-Class Data Science Teams (Easier Said Than Done) (10 Minutes)

Speaker:
Conor Jensen, Customer Success Team Lead, Dataiku

Abstract:
Despite the promise and opportunities of data science, many organizations are failing to see a return on their investment. The key issue holding organizations back is a lack of good data science management. This manifests in failure to effectively build and manage teams. In this workshop, we will go through a methodological approach for helping managers identify the needs of their organization and build the appropriate team.

Session 4 - Integrating Data Science into Commercial Pharma: The Good, The Bad, and The Validated (10 Minutes)

Speaker:
Adam Jenkins, Ph.D., Data Science Lead, Biogen

Abstract:
One of the most difficult industries for data science to take hold and gain effectiveness is the world of commercial pharma/biotech. This talk will talk in depth about steps that companies in this space can take to make the most out of their data science teams and out of their data in general.

We will dive into these issues through the context of how to bring the industry from one of “old school” sales and marketing techniques into one where machine learning can make a tangible top and bottom line impacts.
