MSDSE Summit - 2019
November 5-7, 2019
Santa Fe, New Mexico
ABOUT THE MSDSE SUMMIT
The Moore-Sloan Data Science Environment's annual summit will be held on November 5-7, 2019 in beautiful Santa Fe, NM. This year, the event is brought to you by the Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA), together with our partners at the Moore-Sloan Data Science Environments. This meeting brings academic data scientists and researchers together from all disciplines and career stages to share research advances, in methodologies and domain applications, and programmatic and educational approaches to data science. The Summit will include lightning talks, demos, poster sessions, and collaborative discussions.
This meeting is a great opportunity to connect with colleagues and make new connections to share research advances. This year we will have a few new faces as we start to expand our community to other universities and institutions.
This year’s Summit will be hosted at the Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe, NM, about 1 hour drive from the Albuquerque International airport (ABQ).
