4. Get connected through online communities

Analytics Experience (known as #AnalyticsX on Twitter) gathers data enthusiasts – business and IT leaders, analytics professionals and data scientists – from every industry. You can chat and network with them online before, during or after the conference in this online community.

One of the best things about this conference is that you can apply what you learn to the existing projects or be inspired to start new ones.  By attending, you also serve as an ambassador for your organization. One of my favorite things to do is to share what I learn on social media and to "connect the dots" at events - you can bring this info back to your team and provide a post conference summary and debrief your colleagues on what you learned.

Once you get the OK from your boss, here's the link to register for your seat at Analytics Experience.

I'd love to hear how you got your "YES" and we look forward to seeing you in San Diego or Milan!
