'New kids on the block', AI and data science, are the new technologies that are getting everyone excited. But, what is their role in augmenting your current BI/analytics capability?


Johannesburg, 22 Feb 2019

This year's Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit 2019, taking place next month, has evolved to reflect the continually changing nature of this space. The 'new kids on the block', AI and data science, are fast becoming an integral part of BI and analytics. But, what is the reality of implementing these technologies in your organisation, and how soon will you see tangible results and achieve a ROI?

To answer these and other important questions around these emerging technologies, the second day of the summit will have a strong focus on data science and AI.

ITWeb Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit 2019

ITWeb's next annual BI & Analytics Summit will be held from 12 to 14 March 2019, at The Forum, Bryanston. This year's event is themed 'Being intelligent about business data' and will focus on the practical applications of data analytics and BI into the business.

The first morning will feature an international keynote presentation on how to implement an effective data science blueprint with the modern stack. Brett St. Clair, CEO of Siatik, one of Google's leading AI and ML partners, will also present on how organisations can prepare to harness the true power of AI and ML. This will be followed by a case study from Sameer Jooma, Director: Innovation and Analytics at Anheuser-Busch InBev, on how to integrate machine learning and AI into your organisation's BI/analytics capability.

The second track in the afternoon of day two also focuses exclusively on AI and data science. Dr Eugene Wessels, Partner: Data Analytics at King Price Insurance, will reveal how data science and AI are used to optimise the client experience in the complex world of insurance. David Logan, a Modelling Solution Scientist at Absa, will give his insights on how to successfully implement a data science capability in your organisation. Finally, Andrew Milner, CTO at Slipstream, will explain how to get everyone in the organisation, not just data scientists and AI specialists, to understand their role in creating an analytical culture which becomes ingrained in the company's DNA.
