I’m excited to let you know about two opportunities for students at the Analytics 2012 Conference, Oct. 8-9 in Las Vegas. The first is the Student Poster Contest. If you have some research to share with the analytics community, consider submitting an abstract. If your abstract is accepted, then you can attend the conference for free and if your abstract is awarded as one of the top six, you will receive an all-inclusive trip to the conference including airfare, hotel and meals!
The second opportunity is the 2012 Data Mining Shootout where student teams are asked to solve a common business problem using appropriate data mining methods and SAS software. The top three teams will be rewarded with a trip to the conference for one team member, the chance to present at the conference and a donation from SAS to the team’s university.
I hope to see you there!
