An Evening of Data Science, Star Wars, and Tacos with SendGrid and NVIDIA

“Without big data, companies are blind and deaf, wandering out onto the web like deer on a freeway”, said author and speaker, Geoffrey Moore. That’s invaluable advice, however, how do you make actionable decisions on all your data?!

Join us at Galvanize on May 4th as we explore some incredible solutions to the questions of how to optimize your data. The evening will be jam packed with tacos, Ratio Beerworks, Star Wars (May the 4th be with you), and IBM Data Solutions!

This exciting evening will have an all-star lineup of speakers from SendGrid and NVIDIA showing us how they’re solving big data problems in incredibly innovative and creative ways.

The night will include Star Wars prizes, La Loma's tacos, and conference ticket giveaways!

IBM is graciously giving every attendee to this event complimentary admission to the Cognitive Builder Faire on June 9-11 taking place in Denver.

What is Cognitive Builder Faire you ask? This event will be a hybrid conference and hackathon. We will be bringing on the best and brightest instructors to teach you the newest and most innovative practices in working with IBM Watson and Data Science Experience (DSX). Then, we will set you loose to apply your newly acquired skills in an exciting and collaborative hackathon to solve real world problems!
