Data Challenge
There are opportunities for forward thinking companies to engage directly with the conference delegates by setting a data challenge.
Companies provide a dataset and set questions or define problems that participating delegates can use their specialised skill sets to solve.
Companies can gain new insights into their own data sets, or new approaches to solving existing problems, whilst raising the profile of their brand, their career opportunities, and standing in the research community.
Exhibition Space
There are opportunities for research teams and companies to exhibit their work and products at the conference.
