I’m very excited about the upcoming Big Data Summit in New York City on Thursday evening (October 1st). Sponsored by Aster Data, Microstrategy, and Informatica, we have an incredible speaker lineup including LinkedIn, comScore, and Colin White from BI Research. Check out the Facebook page for the event here.

To kick off the festivities, we’re holding a live webinar earlier in the day at 9 a.m. US Pacific time. Colin White and myself will be discussing Hadoop and data warehousing - how they’re similar, how they’re different, and what they can be used for (both separately and together). In fact, we’ll be making an important announcement of a new product offering that you won’t want to miss. If you haven’t already, I urge you to register by clicking here.

Mark it on your calendar - something “big” is coming on October 1st.
