Big data is more crucial to businesses than ever, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies across multiple industries. The expanding internet of things (IoT) plus the multiple digital engagement points between businesses and customers create huge swathes of data and new challenges in how to manage this glut of information. Big Data conferences provide data scientists, managers, engineers, and other technology enthusiasts with opportunities to learn from their peers and share their own insights. 

Our top five takeaways about big data events in 2024:

  1. Most events are welcoming attendees back to physical venues than in 2024.
  2. Social issues such as climate change and ethics are hot topics this year.
  3. Many conferences still provide online offerings or live stream solutions for safety and accessibility.
  4. Networking and learning from other tech professionals are prime reasons to attend Big Data events.
  5. Integrate.io can help you manage your business’s Big Data more efficiently for better data warehouse insights.

Over the past couple of years, Big Data events have been largely relegated to the virtual sphere, although 2023 did see many hybrid events and even a few face-to-face conferences re-emerging. In 2024, we expect to see a lot more in-person events, as organizers safely welcome attendees back to physical venues.

Anyone interested in data science knows that Big Data is big news for business. The world generates around 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every single day, culminating in around 44 zettabytes of data in the world at any given time. This figure is always rising, and businesses are constantly looking for new ways to manage their data and maximize its potential. Integrate.io provides ETL and reverse ETL data integration solutions that help provide complete data observability and empower businesses to gain better insights from their data warehouse via an intuitive, no-code data pipeline platform.

As well as providing top tools for data integration, we’re proud to provide a range of resources for data managers and other tech professionals, including this list of some of the most exciting Big Data events in 2024. Remember to always check with the event organizers before booking or committing to attending. Event details are subject to change.
