what others said about smartcon?
Usama Fayyad | Chief Data Officer – Barclays
smartcon2016 was a great success following on its great launch in 2015. I was surprised by the size and quality of the audience. With almost 1000 attendees coming from a wide range of companies that care about BigData from Turkey and across the Region and the World. I made some great connections in Africa, U.S., EU and Asia. The keynotes were given by CEO’s and very senior leaders in major enterprises and many lessons learned were shared. For me, the program on incorporating startup company pitches and also presentations to help startups is particularly attractive and unique.
Volker Hirsch | Managing Partner – Quantified Ventures
smartcon is a terrifically well-put together conference. I was impressed by the quality of speakers and attendees alike. Particularly for international participants, this is a great opportunity to gain insights and make contact with the leading technology players from Turkey and the region. The production value of the event was outstanding by anyone’s standard. I thoroughly enjoyed the event!
Leandro Guerra | Analytics Consultant – Experian
The conference was a great mix of brands, subjects and people around the Big Data World. Perfect for the cosmopolitan Istanbul’s environment. I‘ve seen great initiatives about how big data is driving changes into organizations and society and also had a good time for networking. I am looking forward to attend the next one
Richard Soley | CEO & Chairman – Industrial Internet Consortium
The Summit was extraordinary — not only with about 1.000 people learning about the Internet of Things and Big Data, .but key decision-makers and clever start-ups in the audience made the discussions during the event (and in the hallways!) valuable and interesting.
Noah Illinsky | UX Architect – Amazon Web Services
The conference was great, a good variety of content and very knowledgeable speakers. Overall it was well organized, and the organizers were pleasant to deal with. And of course, the food was fantastic!
Derya Matraş | Facebook Turkey Country Director
Great conference, inspiring content, strong speakers, very well managed professionally. Looking forward to next one.
Kenneth Cukier | Co-Author of the Bestseller “Big Data” and “Learning with Big Data”
Great people, great ideas and lots of new opportunities.
