When leading data & business analysts want to talk about what’s next with advanced analytics and data visualization, they need an environment where the best and brightest gather.  The University of Washington proudly presents this opportunity through the DRIVE/ conference.

The Data, Reporting, Information and Visualization Exchange (DRIVE/) was started by the UW in 2011.  This event has grown to 700 professionals annually.  The conference creates an opportunity for leading data and business analysts to connect with each other and with people who do the same sort of work in other sectors. At DRIVE/ attendees have unfettered access to the people and ideas that will have the strongest and most profound impact on their organizations and careers.

At the heart of DRIVE/ is best-in-class programming featuring sessions from:

• Dawn Lepore | Former CEO of Drugstore.com, Named one of Fortune Magazine’s top 50 women in American Business
• Scott Adams | Cartoonist Creator of Dilbert
• Rayid Ghani | Chief Scientist, Obama for America 2012
• Sam Hogenson | VP Nordstrom

For professionals looking to find the skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex and ever-changing world, DRIVE/ should be included as part of your professional development plans for 2015.
