Big Data Summit

We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 Big Data Summit. This event has had a great 9-year run. We are grateful to all who have been part of its history, from speakers to participants, from industry partners to campus colleagues. We are looking to reimagine this event and return next fall with a new experience.

We were “early adopters” of this kind of programming on campus, and now it has become quite pervasive. Monthly, we support the Champaign-Urbana Data Science User Group via Research Park. There are also options for related workshops, events and conferences being implemented across units and colleges such as NCSA, the iSchool, the Gies College of Business, and the Institute for Genomic Biology to name a few.

Please visit our YouTube page to see talks, panels and keynotes from previous years of the Big Data Summit.
