#BIGDIVE4
The BIG DATA theme is now a public domain topic.
Companies, start-ups and government institutions are embracing a data-driven approach in order to create value from the huge information asset produced, at an explosive pace, by sensors, smartphones, social networks, web platforms and applications.
BIG DIVE enables professionals to face the BIG DATA challenge. Goals are different:
/ Deepening and boosting relationships with audiences and users. / Creating value, measuring the impact and dealing with complex indexes. / Encouraging creative experimentations.
/ Enabling new business models.
BIG DIVE aims at fostering real “Data-Driven Decision Making” processes where the data are the basis for models used to take effective decisions (or at least to support human decisions through evidence-based observation).
In order to master this scenario data scientists alone are not enough. An extensive new generation of data-driven professionals will be required by the market in the next few years: data-driven developers, data-driven designers, data-driven entrepreneurs, data-driven policy makers… The first step to the real Data-Maturity is to focus not primarily on the data, the technologies or the systems but to think about the user or the participant. This user-centric thinking involves a shift from a producer-led view to a consumer-producer-led view.
Explaining this data-culture and bringing that from theory to practice, through a hands-on approach, is exactly the main BIG DIVE objective in 2015. Training program to boost the technical skills you need to dive into the BIG DATA universe, to extract value... and to create impact.
FOURTH EDITION | JUNE, 2015 - TURIN (ITALY)
BIG DIVE aims at boosting the growth of a new generation of developers. A street-fighting gym where high value datasets are the raw material in the hands of a group of ambitious smart geeks tutored and mentored by experts in three key areas: Development, Visualization and Data Science.
Our goal is not to “create” utopian multidisciplinary professionals but to provide a complete overview of the BIG DATA value chain, from data to impact.

FOURTH EDITION | JUNE, 2015 - TURIN (ITALY)
/ 20 participants from 8 different countries in the first edition. / 15 participants from 5 different countries in the second edition. / 15 participants from 6 different countries in the third edition.
/ Great national and international sponsors supported BIG DIVE over the years: Telecom Italia, 10Gen, Palantir Technology, Seeweb, Amazon Web Services, Cloudera, Politecnico di Torino.
/ At the end of each edition a bunch of high level data science projects were presented in a public closing event and they represented a great value for the data-providers committed in the project.
Using the words of the Diver Jonas Liechti: "Everybody who would like to swim in the ocean of data should go to Big Dive. Because if you do not want to drown you'd better learn how to 'dive'."
