GTC has become my favorite tech event of the year due to its highly focused topic areas that align well with my own; data science, machine learning, AI, and deep learning; plus the show has an academic feel that I appreciate.]]> https://insidebigdata.com/2019/04/04/field-report-gpu-technology-conference-2019-gtc19/feed/ 1 22342 https://insidebigdata.com/2019/02/13/field-report-h2o-world-2019-san-francisco/ https://insidebigdata.com/2019/02/13/field-report-h2o-world-2019-san-francisco/#comments Wed, 13 Feb 2019 16:30:22 +0000 https://insidebigdata.com/?p=22102 I was pleased to be on-hand for the recent (Feb. 4-5) H2O World 2019 conference in beautiful San Francisco. This was my first H2o.ai conference and I was looking forward to drilling down into their popular open source solutions for data scientists including the H2O machine learning platform, Sparkling Water machine learning platform on Spark, H2O4GPU accelerated AI for GPUs, as well as the groundbreaking Driverless AI automatic machine learning (AutoML) platform. With all this leading-edge technology and resulting industry buzz, I can see why the company recently ranked #9 on insideBIGDATA's IMPACT 50 list of the industry's most impactful companies.]]> https://insidebigdata.com/2019/02/13/field-report-h2o-world-2019-san-francisco/feed/ 2 22102 https://insidebigdata.com/2018/09/20/field-report-tibco-now-2018/ https://insidebigdata.com/2018/09/20/field-report-tibco-now-2018/#respond Thu, 20 Sep 2018 15:30:39 +0000 https://insidebigdata.com/?p=21050 I was pleased to be on hand for the 2018 edition of the TIBCO NOW "Innovation at the Edge" conference in Las Vegas on September 4-6. This was my 1st time covering the show for insideBIGDATA, and I was eager to get the pulse of the event because you can tell a lot about the state of a company by attending their global user conference.

Each company had a somewhat different slant of course which aligned with their products and services, but there was also a lot of commonality. Most everyone had some tie into the industry's current buzz - AI, machine learning and deep learning. This was perfect for me as a practicing data scientist myself.
