Rittman Mead at BIWA Summit 2015

I’m writing this in my hotel room in downtown San Francisco, with my colleague Francesco Tisiot flying in tonight and US colleagues Jordan Meyer, Daniel Adams and Andy Rocha travelling down tomorrow and Monday for next week's BIWA Summit 2015. The Business Intelligence, Warehousing and Analytics SIG is a part of IOUG and this year also hosts the 11th Annual Oracle Spatial Summit, giving us three days of database-centric content touching most areas of the Oracle BI+DW stack.

Apart from our own sessions (more in a moment), BIWA Summit 2015 has a great-line up of speakers from the Oracle Database and also Hadoop worlds, featuring Cloudera’s Doug Cutting and Oracle’s Paul Sondereggar and with most of the key names from the Oracle BI+DW community including Christian Screen, Tim & Dan Vlamis, Tony Heljula, Kevin McGinley and Stewart Bryson, Brendan Tierney, Eric Helmer, Kyle Hailey and Rene Kuipers. From a Rittman Mead perspective we’ve delivering a number of sessions over the days, details below:
