As businesses transition their priorities and products to adapt to the changing landscape, data analytics is more crucial than ever. Here to help keep your finger on the pulse of data analytics and connected with other data leaders in our tech ecosystem, the Minnesota High Tech Association and Charter Solutions is pleased to invite you to our next event in our Peer Forum series. Virtually join us on May 7th from 9:00-10:00 a.m. for the upcoming peer forum “Data 360: Strategy Adaptation and Moving through Disruption”.

The program will bring together Data Leaders from different industries to discuss Data Strategy and hear from current Thought Leaders. The first half of the event will feature:

• Devjeet Haldar, DVP of Business Analytics and Information Management, Abbott Laboratories
• Jeremy Lembeck, Director, Data & Analytics, Land O’ Lakes
• Kashif Riaz, Ph.D,, Director Data Engineering, Securian Financial
• Brad Thompson, Vice President, Data and Analytics at Target

These leaders will discuss how Data Strategy is impacting their world and how it is being prioritized within the Enterprise’s top initiatives moving forward. Everything from COVID-19’s impact on machine learning models, to their short and long-term strategies for mitigating risk moving forward.

The second half of the peer forum will then be used as a breakout session to allow for smaller group discussion. This will allow data analytics leaders to dig in deeper to the problems and solutions that everyone is trying to solve, while getting different industry viewpoints. Data leaders interested in networking, learning and collaborating with their community peers are encouraged to attend.

All Forum events are by invitation only. Attendance is limited to individuals who lead data analytics/science teams within their respective organizations (or a similar position). Please email MHTA’s Director of Community Engagement Jade Denson at jade@mntech.org to request an invitation.
