2. What is Big Data Week all about?
We’re a festival of big ideas about data.
Big Data Week is one of the most unique global platforms of interconnected community events
focusing on the social, political, technological and commercial impacts of Big Data. It brings together
a global community of data scientists, data technologies, data visualisers and data businesses
spanning six major commercial, financial, social and technological sectors.
• Media and Entertainment • Retail and FMCG
• Health and Science • Public and Government
• Financial Sector • Social and Personal
The festival connects a number of global cities through locally hosted meetups, events, networking
functions, data visualisation demo’s, debates, discussion and hackathons. Events are designed to
provide a platform to educate, inform and inspire – organised by people who are passionate and
knowledgeable about data.
We’re a self organising community where anyone is able to host and create an event during the
festival; making the our platform completely open and community driven
We live at bigdataweek.com

3. What did we do in 2012?
We started something that’s going to be BIG.
Big Data Week is one year old, but we have been successful in bringing together a global community
of entrepreneurs, data professionals and data driven organisations.
In 2012 we were hosted in 9 major cities; Helsinki, Canberra, Berlin, Melbourne, Chicago, London, New
York and San Francisco. We were successful in tapping into the enthusiasm of key influencers and
motivated individuals in the big data communities; creating a dynamic energy for the community to
‘self-organise’ and curate over 50 events and meetups; energising and bringing together over 2000
people across the festival.
Big Data Week also created unique opportunities for our partners to connect with key decision
makers in technology, business, science and media.
And we are doing it all again in 2013, but BIGGER.
