Big Data and the Intelligent Organisation

Building on the event on Innovation, we’ll look at some key technological innovations from the emerging field of Big Data. While people everywhere can identify powerful possibilities in a wide range of fields for the use of Big Data, most of these possibilities remain unrealised.

We’ll explore what’s possible for Kent, Surrey and Sussex, and how to make the possible into the real.
