During the session, Selinger and Ghani will give attendees a case study-driven look into big data: what it really means, who owns it, how to benefit from it and where it’s going. The session, entitled, “How Relevance Can Get Your Brand Elected,” will take place on January 13 at 10:15 a.m. ET at the Jacob K. Javitz Convention Center in New York City.
“Data is evolving everything about retail, and retailers have the opportunity to integrate new technologies into their legacy systems to get tremendous value and change how they look at data in 2014,” said Selinger. “This session addresses the Big Data issues facing retailers and brands today, and, while this is a technology issue, we will also touch on new ways to think about data, drawing on best practices from some of the most prolific data strategies ever undertaken.”
“From politics to retail, data’s promise lies in engaging your supporters at massive scale, and creating connections that empower them to become advocates and fans for your business,” said Ghani, who is currently at the University of Chicago’s Computation Institute and Harris School of Public Policy.
