ICYMI: Highlights from IEEE Big Data 2024!!
Big Data, hosted by IEEE, was our students’ first core-rated conference!! There were over 1200 attendees in our nation’s beautiful capital of Washington DC – What an experience! Here are some highlights in case you missed it.
Day One:
Day one kicked off with awesome sessions and posters, yummy food, and our students rocked their oral presentations!
Day Two:
On day two, we learned a little about how they select presenters, posters, and papers. It’s a lot harder than we realized, so we are very proud of our students who made the cut! Then we were treated to an excellent and intriguing keynote speech from Haixun Wang, the VP of Engineering at Instacart before ending the day with an insightful panel discussion on the intersection of big data and AI. And then of course we had more delicious food!
Day Three:
The highlight of day three was everyone’s favorite – the awards banquet! It was full of incredible eats, dancing, and fascinating cultural performances.
