4 About Big Data The Big Data Innovation Summit brings together thought-leaders from the industry for an event acclaimed for its interactive sessions and high-level speakers. As many organizations are now working with unmanageably large data sets, the importance of using and maintaining an analytics platform which can cope with this scale of information is essential. This p r e s e nt s b ot h a c h a l l e n g e a n d opportunity as organizations must identify patterns and gain actionable results in order to gain a crucial advantage over competitors. Illustrated intermittently with case studies, interactive panel sessions and deepdive discussions, this summit offers solutions and insight from the leaders operating in the Big Data space. Big Data Innovation will help your business understand & utilize datadriven strategies and discover what disciplines will change because of the advent of data. With a vast amount of data now available, modern businesses are faced with the challenge of storage, management, analysis, visualization, s e c u r i t y a n d d i s r u p t i v e t o o l s & technologies. Confirmed Speakers Masoud Charkhabi Director, Advanced Analytics Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Masoud Charkhabi is Director of Advanced Analytics at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).

Previously, Masoud held consulting and management roles in the decision sciences, technology and operational divisions of CIBC. He holds degree in Management & Engineering. Finding Focus Areas in Big Data It was famously said that a wealth of information brings a poverty of attention. Big data can accompany this paralyzing effect that not only stalls progress but undermines confidence in the value of analytics. While the sheer volume of big data overwhelms the most scientific analytical methods, pockets exist that accommodate these scientific methods quite well. This presentation will elaborate on a framework that helps find focus areas in big data. You will see that indeed, the problem is not information overload; it's filter failure. Presentations coming soon from...

Why We Should All Love Graph Analytics & Stop Worrying Today's complex data is big, variably-structured and densely connected. In this session, we will look at how size, structure and connectedness have converged to change the way we work with data. Connected data is prevalent in social networking (as you mention), logistics networks (for package routing), financial transaction graphs (for detecting fraud), telecommunications networks, ad optimization, recommendation engines, bioinformatics, and in many other places. We will explore the new opportunities for creating end-user value that have emerged in a world of connected data, illustrated with graph analytics examples implemented using graph database.

Five Great Myths about Big Data Big Data may eventually lead to the discovery of the Theory of Everything in Physics one day; however, it will still not become a solution to everything in the world we live in. Following the wrong approach towards Big Data can cost a company, its reputation and its competitive edge in the market. Just knowing Attribution Models and Predictive Analytics is not enough. If you become a believer in one of the myths described below, you will end up with wrong numbers. Leila Lavaee Data Analytics Lead, Digital Strategy & Customer Experience TD Bank Leila Lavaee is a Strategy & analytical lead, a key part of a dynamic, innovative team who supports TD's Digital Channel through leading-edge analytical work. Leila has advised on how data can be acquired to drive insights and data driven decision making in various industries such as direct marketing, advertising and financials. Lately, Leila's focus has been on web analytics to enrich traditional customer analytics with unstructured data from different data sources. "Big Data"... Is it a No-Brainer...? "Big Data" seems to be a no-brainer and so many more organizations are trying to run big data projects. But last year the focus was more on infrastructure and all costs associated with it. What seems to be missing in the bigger picture is the true value of big data which is if and only if it drives strategic insights. Based on Gartner; 64% of enterprises surveyed indicated they're deploying or planning big data. Yet, they still don't know what to do with it. This presentation will elaborate on how to develop "big data" mindset in your organization and later will showcase how it can enhance customer experience.

7 Confirmed Speakers Jim Tom Chief Information Officer Public Health Ontario Jim has been translating the business direction of PHO into an information, data and technology strategy, and implementing the required architecture, infrastructure and services to support PHO s mandate.

His other positions have included CTO of the UBC Medical lschool expansion, Director of Networks at UBC and VP of Research and Engineering for a digital imaging firm. JIm holds a PhD in engineering from Stanford. Big Messy Data: The Case of Public Health Public Health is concerned with monitoring the health of populations (that is, groupings of individuals) and with the measures that can be used to improve their health. The concerns include such short-term issues as identifying an outbreak of infectious disease as well as long-term issues such as development of diabetes. Data complexity ranges from relatively modest datasets from laboratory test results to heterogeneous sources such as the health system, pollution monitoring, climate records and behavioural evidence. Messiness includes timeliness, linkage between phenomena and semantics. This talk outlines the challenges and PHO s plans to address the data management and analytic issues. Charumitra Pujari PrincipalData Scientist POINTS Charumitra Pujari, Principal Data Scientist, Points. As Principal Data Scientist, Charu is responsible for leading big data analytics at Points.

Driving Business Value Using Big Data Analytics Big data is the buzzword of the century and a lot has been said about how it can create real value for the organizations that are adopting this technology, but very few organizations have realized the true potential and ability to drive real incremental results using big data. In this case study, we will show how Points is able to drive 2X incremental revenue and savings for a key partner using multi dimensional view of a customer, building predictive models using an ensemble of machine learning techniques, and a unique way of incorporating business expertise in the predictive models. This case study will explain an end to end framework for executing on big data strategy that starts with a solid business objective.

Through a lighthearted storytelling style, Dave will engage the audience in an active dialogue. The goal will be to answer the questions; Is Big Data really the answer or are we just taking bad data creating massive analytics. As a result are we taking small problems and turning them into BIG ones.
