June's meetup and the presentation topic should be extremely interesting. Big data and data analytics and intelligence are now central in today's world and impact everyone in ways never imagined.

The topic: Telling Stories with Big Data, featuring Garth Henson of Disney Streaming

Doors open at 6:00 pm, live programing begins at 6:30 pm ET sharp. We'll begin the evening with a few community announcements, then we'll quickly move to Garth.

Location:
The meetup will take place at the SOCO co-work space. The address is: 808 Lady Street, suite D, Columbia, SC 29201. Here is the website for SOCO - https://soco-work.com/. Note, there are two locations for SOCO in Columbia – we are at the Lady Street/Vista location.

Beverages will be served as will snacks. We will not be serving food (pizza, etc.) until next month as most are still a little uneasy with food being served in an open environment.

Talk Title: Telling Stories with Big Data

Abstract:
In a world where data is king, we are constantly bombarded with infographics, charts, numbers, and other data that may or may not actually make sense. Access to massive volumes of data is at our fingertips, but it isn't always clear how to tell a story that is both accurate and relevant with it.

Join us for this session as we build some tools to help us manage our big data streams using open-source technologies. We will discuss important data topics such as partitioning, proper indexing, and redundancy to enable you to confidently tell a story with both accurate and relevant data you have collected!
