Big data analytics will continue to ignite explosive growth for those able to leverage it in 2014.
But while the data-science field continues to evolve at warp speed, companies are moving to a more practical stage this year: They’re seeking real results from their investments in analytics tools. They’re looking to boost revenue or curtail costs — or best of all, both.
VentureBeat hosted our inaugural DataBeat event in 2013, and it was a smash success, bringing together some of the top data scientists, analysts, investors, and entrepreneurs in the field of big data.
This year’s DataBeat will be laser focused on helping companies increase profitability through smart analytics and big data tools. We’re gathering the brightest minds to filter through the noise and give new insights on the people, technologies, and strategies that will accelerate growth.

Daniel Jabbour, pictured above, helped us build SFNTinvest.  As the leader of a team of hackers at Amoeba Consulting and as the founder of The Psychedelic Society of San Francisco, Daniel was always up to something mind-bending.  He was an amazing collaborator with a heart of gold.  We lost Danny a few weeks ago and we will miss him.

Ride on, Danny. Â Thanks for everything!
