San Francisco, CA

A new data Grid: five-day, seven-conference matrix, bringing together data engineers and data scientists. The verticals of the grid are application domains such as NLP, IoT, Life Sciences and UX, and the horizontals are data platforms, pipelines and algorithms, such as Apache Kafka, Spark, and Deep Learning. We are advanced researchers and practitioners, using machine learning and data mining powered by scalable data pipelines. We are building new companies through computational understanding and adaptive human+machine intelligence. Our community builds upon Text By the Bay 2015 and Big Data Scala 2015, around those who built web-scale data pipelines powering successful businesses with millions of users, around the world, every day.

Brought to you by the organizers of SF Text, SF Scala, SF Spark, Reactive Systems, 
Text By the Bay 2015, Big Data Scala 2015, and Scala By the Bay 2013-2015.

Data By the Bay: Data Science and Engineering in Four Directions

 

The main goal of Data By the Bay is connecting the best data engineers, data scientists and data-driven startup leaders with each other. Engineers and scientists build open-source tools that startups and enterprises can take to production quickly, and that they can learn and improve. In return, web-scale production leads to massive datasets and use cases improving the software and pushing frontiers of science.

Data By the Bay is the first Data Grid conference matrix, consisting of the _seven_ separate conferences, held over five days. The days follow one another and all run in the same conference center. The verticals of the matrix are application domains, such as NLP, Life Sciences, UX, IoT. etc. The horizontals are platforms, pipelines, and algorithms. There's a hole day on pipelines. The schedule features all days, and you can buy tickets for each day. Two days have several conference held in parallel, and that day's ticket lets you attend tacks in all of them. There will also be discounts for multiple days attendance.

What is special about Data By the Bay? How does our approach to a data-centric conference differ from various other meetings, summits, etc.?

At the Text By the Bay conference, multiple people said that was the best data engineering conference they've attended. The talks were all technical and contained educational as well as business value. There is a mix of 40 minutes and 20 minutes talks, and the panels elicited great insights, as well as motovation, and even inspiration, stemming from deep questions.

Great talks By the Bay have the following features:

• Close to code -- live coding, code snippets, github repos are our friends
• Close to data -- public datasets, examples of data, data insights
• Close to business -- your startup depends on it, and you're proud of it -- share it!
• Close to people -- great stuff is shareable, and great makers make great speakers. Let's connect around our interests!

We intend for each talk to be a call to

• learn new things directly
• use open-source proven to do great things in your own business
• inspire you to take a Coursera course or data science bootcamp
• connect with potential advisors, colleagues, open-source authors and fellow users
• move the community forward together

Please refer to each individual conference for more detailes about the topics of interest.

Data By the Bay is the first data grid conference. For all days, we have common horizontal themes them all as Data By the Bay.

We are working with great sponsors -- email us at sponsors@bythebay.io if you can help in one of these areas.

Last year, we started with a two-day, three-track, 50-talk conference. We've put together an inspiring program centered around language, Big Data, text and images, deep learning, UI, social networks, and much more.

This year, we're running the first data grid conference sequence with with seven verticals over five days. Each day's attendance is limited to only 400 seats and it will be full. We hope you join us in May By the Bay!

Conference Tickets

 

You can buy tickets for two or more days of the conference as passes. Once you buy a pass, you will receive an email with instructions on how to redeem the days you want. Each day has the capacity of 400 and will automatically be disabled once full. We'll add the days that are sold out on the TICKETS page as soon as they become unavailable.

Currently available days: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5.

Pricing works as follows: regular admission is $500/day. Very Early Bird is $400/day, Early Bird is $450/day, and late Bird is $550/day. We will only allocate 100 Very Early/Early Bird tickets for each day, since our capacity is limited and the word is only getting out. The passes are 2/3/4/5-day bundles, discounted $50 per each extra day (so 2-day Very Early Bird Bundle is $750, 2-day Early Bird Bundle is $850, 2-day Regular Admission Bundle is $950, etc.). We use Stripe directly to process all payments.

Full-time students inquiring about discounts: please email proof of enrollment and dates of interest.
