Abstract: 

Data science is sexier than ever. It is actively impacting the world around us; curing cancers, improving the performance of professional athletes and preventing terrorism. Alas, most of us, and most of our potential customers are presently engaged in the potentially ‘mundane’ mission of the for-profit company, increase revenue and reduce costs. This session will highlight where and how data science is impacting business performance in sometimes ‘magical’ ways.
