In 2012, Nate Silver used statistics to perfectly predict the results of the presidential election, Brad Pitt starred in a movie on how data has transformed baseball and the cover of the Harvard Business Review heralded the arrival of "the age of big data."  With the cost of data storage now immaterial, sensor technology becoming ubiquitous, and modern machine learning techniques able to pull signals  out of large and complex data sets, we're fast approaching a world where data and algorithms make many of our most important business decisions. Our February 19 event will offer a primer on big data and machine learning and some thoughts on its potential in upstream Oil & Gas.
Antony Goldbloom, Founder & CEO of  Kaggle
Ken Tubman, Vice President, Geosciences and Reservoir Engineering at ConocoPhillips
Allen Gilmer, Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of  Drillinginfo
Harold Walters, Chief Technical Advisor -- Production Enhancement, Halliburton
