Enhancing Government Services Through Advanced Analytics

Data is all around us, and it is becoming increasingly hard to abstract relevant insights from our data that lead to intelligent action.

With this in mind, we invite you to join us for this can't-miss Meetup where you will hear about the advanced analytics capabilities, and see how raw data is transformed into actionable insight.

We are excited to have Esri joining us to present and demo advanced spatial analytics in cloud. You will also see a highly interactive and demonstration-focused sessions by Microsoft data and cloud expert, Ted Malone, as well as AIS CTO and Microsoft MVP, Vishwas Lele.

As always, there will be great networking opportunities along with food and beverages. This event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend. Check out the agenda below and spread the word to your colleagues and connections about this Azure Gov DC Meetup!
