Tapping new data sources to power better business decisions

Converge is a conference that has been developed for those working in the confluence of primary business intelligence data, behavioral and third-party data sets. It is a collegial forum where those specializing in digital analytics, data science, consumer insights, and market research come together to expand their networks and knowledge. Specifically, you'll learn:  

  • How to merge large business operations and third-party data streams with smaller, targeted, proactively collected traditional MRX data to derive real, actionable insights
  • New ways to inform brand strategy and find new customers
  • Schematics to build a department that can effectively harness the collective power of research, data analytics and data science
  • Procedures that ensure the integrity and quality of data co-mingled from various sources
  • The device, media, and communication trends you need to analyze critical consumer data
  • To develop a well-defined, fully integrated data ecosystem to empower brand and market access strategy and improve sales alignment
