Most likely going to attend this one!
I work in banking, but on the digital team, so I mostly deal with web data and digital analytics. Definitely feeling much closer to this than to the Finance BoF.
Since there will be a wide scope of topics at this BoF session, I've heard a suggestion to list some of the subtopics / questions to discuss that are of interest to the people attending.
Speaking for myself, I'd be mainly interested in a couple of things:
Any sort of use of R in marketing analytics and modeling
As for myself, Operations Analytics is all I've ever been doing in analytics, and I hope I can bring some insights from my past experience, if anyone has any other topics to discuss.
I'd like to throw a few more topics into the mix. I'm coming from a government department although the work I do is past the point of governing and into the day-to-day operations.
Uses of R in an administrative data context and building rapport when you're in a centralized data team. (And one of 20,000 people in the organization )
Bringing important (read: production) old code over to R. What am I not seeing that will happen two months in?
I'm interested in finding people who are in that same sea of people I'm in where everyone may not hold the same priorities as you, least of all whether the work is done in R or not.
