Business Intelligence Conference

A business intelligence conference can be a good way to network with like-minded professionals, get best practice information, and get some technical, hands-on introduction to the technology. They are highly recommended.

All of the big vendors have a yearly user conference. These usually go for 3-5 days (and are usually in a nice city!) With Oracle, IBM, and SAP, these can included several different projects. Most big vendors also have symposiums that are more localized meet-and-greet type meetings without as much fanfare. In addition, several IT and industry groups also host their own events and are worthwhile to attend.

Here’s a schedule of business intelligence conferences and events coming up for 2012 and into 2013:
