Data Science comes to ILTAcon! [Part One of Three]

By Tim Golden posted 08-12-2017 17:45

  

As one of the many folks responsible for bringing you this year’s analytics sessions, I thought I’d spend some time giving you the unofficial skinny on all things Data Science and Advanced Analytics at ILTAcon 2017.

This year’s conference provides valuable session content and networking opportunities whether you are just getting started with an analytics program or are looking to take your established data science team to the next level.  

This is part one in my attempt to help data-minded attendees navigate conference. Part one (this post) covers Sun-Mon sessions and networking events, part two will cover Tue-Thu, and part three will cover the the amazing ILTA solution provider community supporting the data analytics needs of law firms and corporate legal departments. 

I’ve also provided the session hashtags. For a the full “shared note-taking” ILAcon experience, keep an eye out for posts with these hashtags in the conference app and on Twitter.
