Brain-Powered by the BIWA SIG

BIWA SIG and IOUG partnered to present a special “conference within a conference” – Get Analytical with BIWA Training Days -- on Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing, held in conjunction with COLLABORATE 10 – IOUG Forum. Hundreds of BI professionals took advantage of the opportunity to participate in over 60 technical talks, hands on labs, a Deep Dive, a BI Boot Camp, a BIWA reception and more, gaining valuable knowledge and networking.

Details about Get Analytical with BIWA Training Days:

What Happened? After 2 successful annual Summit Conferences on its own, BIWA joined the big leagues! Instead of a stand-alone Summit, BIWA's natonal conference was a key part of the IOUG Forum of the COLLABORATE 10 conference, April 18-22, 2010, in Las Vegas.
What was it Called? Our special section of the IOUG Forum was titled "Get Analytical with BIWA Training Days."
Why was it Special? The large-scale COLLABORATE conference, with the extraordinary facilities of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and the excitement of Las Vegas, made BIWA Training Days a truly outstanding event.
Value? BIWA Training Days was an unbeatable training value: not only did it offer the in-depth BI focus, participants could also attend the vast array of COLLABORATE 10 presentations. Whatever your unique combination of educational interests, BIWA Training Days + IOUG Forum + COLLABORATE 10 = 100% coverage!
