Leadership-centered content is for you if:
You have been working in analytics and data science for more than 10 years and are likely leading a team or project of your own. Considered senior level in your career, possibly as an executive, you focus much more on the big picture of a company’s analytics needs than on the day-to-day solving of problems. You’re looking to learn more about where the industry will need to go in the coming years and network with others facing similar issues. You are looking to add new potential or training to your established team, or for ways to communicate your team’s importance to other executives.
