What: MapR Chief Marketing Officer Jack Norris will deliver a keynote on "The Big Data Dividend." Jack will explain how companies that are getting the biggest results from their data projects today are doing more than deploying data hubs and running data analysis, they are incorporating big data directly into their business operations.
