Strata Data Conference 2018 - San Jose | O’Reilly Media, Inc. | 5 March 2018 | San Jose Convention Center, 150 W San Carlos St. San Jose, CA 95113, USA

Strata Data Conference is where cutting-edge science and new business fundamentals intersect—and merge. It's a deep dive into emerging techniques and technologies. You'll dissect case studies, develop new skills through in-depth tutorials, share emerging best practices in data science, and imagine the future.

Formerly known as Strata + Hadoop World, the conference was created in 2012, when O'Reilly and Cloudera brought together their two successful big data conferences.

The data industry is growing fast, and Strata Data Conference has grown right along with it. We've added new sessions and tracks to reflect challenges that have emerged in the data field:

• security
• ubiquitous computing
• collaboration
• reproducibility
• new interfaces
• emerging architecture
• building data teams
• machine data
...and much more
