Welcome to the shiny new website for The Fifth Elephant! In case you’re wondering, The Fifth Elephant is a new, annual conference on Big Data from HasGeek.
With this website and blog, we’ll keep you updated not just on events in the run-up to the conference and details of the venues and places to stay in Bangalore, but also about interesting things happening in the world of data, analytics and visualisation. We’ll be posting speaker bios, videos, a few words from sponsors and partners, and a lot of interesting news and views about the field of big data.
We’d also love to hear from you, about your experiences working with big data and analytics, or if you’d like to tell us what a fantastic job we’re doing with The Fifth Elephant (or if we’re doing something terrible too!). If following a blog is not your thing, you can keep in touch with the Fifth Elephant on Twitter or you can post at our page on Facebook. We will be posting updates there too, so you won’t miss anything.
It’s also not too late to propose a talk for the conference or to vote on the ones already proposed. We have over 50 talks already proposed covering all kinds of topics. Head over to the Fifth Elephant funnel to vote or add your own. Tickets for the conference are also on sale, so make sure to purchase yours before the price goes up in the final weeks!
One last thing, why “The Fifth Elephant?” Well, for that answer, you’ll have to wait until the day of the conference! :)
