The Fifth Elephant 2012

Finding the elephant in the data.

What are your users doing on your website or in your store? How do you turn the piles of data your organization generates into actionable information? Where do you get complementary data to make yours more comprehensive? What tech, and what techniques?

The Fifth Elephant is a two day conference on big data.

Early Geek tickets are available from fifthelephant.doattend.com.

The proposal funnel below will enable you to submit a session and vote on proposed sessions. It is a good practice introduce yourself and share details about your work as well as the subject of your talk while proposing a session.

Each community member can vote for or against a talk. A vote from each member of the Editorial Panel is equivalent to two community votes. Both types of votes will be considered for final speaker selection.

It’s useful to keep a few guidelines in mind while submitting proposals:

  1. Describe how to use something that is available under a liberal open source license. Participants can use this without having to pay you anything.

  2. Tell a story of how you did something. If it involves commercial tools, please explain why they made sense.

  3. Buy a slot to pitch whatever commercial tool you are backing.

Speakers will get a free ticket to both days of the event. Proposers whose talks are not on the final schedule will be able to purchase tickets at the Early Geek price of Rs. 1800.

A co-founder of Scope e-Knowledge Center, a pioneering knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) company, Chandu is a graduate in commerce from Madras University and a Postgraduate in Management from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. He has over 28 years of experience in industry consultancy, business information and media.

In addition, Scope also changed from being India centric to having a global orientation and footprint. Scope has received angel, VC and strategic investor funding.

Apart from Scope, he was also involved in other entrepreneurial ventures, many of which were ho-hum or failed, and one B2B portal was sold to an internet major.
