DataContent 2013: Is Data YOUR Destiny?

July 23, 2013 By

Now in its 21st year, DataContent 2013, co-produced by SIIA and the InfoCommerce Group, convenes high-level information content producers to explore data and content.

Our theme this year is ”Data is Destiny” because as data producers know, if you’re in the information business, you’re also in the data business. And while data IS destiny, success is far from inevitable. It’s easy to see that there are huge opportunities in data, but it’s hard to assess those opportunities and turn them into successful new data products. That’s because data is different – it has its own application, business, content and distribution processes. At DataContent2013, we’ll examine these processes, applications, etc., and identify best practices and trends, all while providing you with an insider’s view of what’s working and where things are heading.

Throughout DataContent, attendees will hear from amazing thought-leaders, including:

  • Jeanette Horan, Chief Information Officer, IBM ─ Keynote Speaker
  • Neal Goldman, Chairman & CEO, Relationship Science ─ Keynote Speaker
  • Michael Bird, President, NetProspex
  • David Chun, Founder & CEO, Equilar
  • Keith Cooper, CEO, Connotate
  • Charles Dolan, CTO & Co-founder, Sequoia Waste Solutions
  • John Ernsberger, Co-founder, Stella Service
  • John Felahi, Chief Strategy Officer, Content Analyst
  • Len Gilbert, VP of Business Development, Yodle
  • Russell Glass, CEO & Co-founder, Bizo
  • Chris Golec, Founder & CEO, Demandbase
  • Sam Hamadeh, Founder & CEO, PrivCo
  • Rob Heiser, President & CEO, Segmint
  • James Hobson, COO, OnDeck Capital
  • Eric Irani, Associate, S&P Capital IQ
  • Vinit Khanna, Chairman of the Board, OKS Group
  • John Lawler, Chief Executive Officer, Buyers Lab
  • Mark Leher, COO, Wand, Inc.
