Accelerating Data Science with Spark and Zeppelin

Dear friends,

This time we are running the meetup together with the NYC Hortonworks User Group.

We will have a lot of interesting talks. This meetup will not be about Storm, but about Spark because a lot of interesting people in the Big Data area came to NYC for the Spark East summit.
