NoSQL Technology & Analytics with MongoDB and Precog

Interested in learning more about 10gen (http://www.10gen.com/) and NoSQL technology? Do you need to take analytics further on your MongoDB database? Curious about a new data science platform (http://www.precog.com/products/precog)?

You're invited to the NoSQL Technology & Analytics Meetup on Wednesday, March 13th in Boulder at the Google office. Space is limited! Please RSVP on Meetup.com to save your spot and help us prepare the printed security badges.

You'll hear from the 10gen team on NoSql technology, what MongoDB (http://www.mongodb.org/) is, and how companies are leveraging it to tackle Big Data. You’ll also hear from the Precog team to learn about advanced analytics (http://www.precog.com/solutions/nosql-analytics) on your MongoDB (http://www.precog.com/editions/precog-for-mongodb) database.

Join us for drinks, pizza, an interactive dialogue, and to learn more about how to do deep analytics on your existing database. Please bring your laptop/tablet for the interactive part and to win prizes!
