Missoula Economic Partnership to attend Big-Data consortium in Salt Lake City

The Missoula Economic Partnership has secured a seat at a Western regional conference to help develop a national network of big-data hubs, one that could include the Garden City and the University of Montana.

Hosted by the National Science Foundation, the meeting in Salt Lake City is one of four planned around the country and the only meeting slated for the West. It’s a chance to put Missoula on the national data-science map.

A series of four intensive planning activities (charrettes) is being held with the objective of bringing together various stakeholders in order to map solutions paths. USENIX is conducting these charrettes to bring together academic, non-profit, governmental, and business communities throughout the country to form grassroots regional partnerships to foster and propel Big Data approaches across all sectors. These communities represent stakeholders in the Big Data ecosystem, including corporations, universities, philanthropies, non-profits, and state and local governments.

Each charrette is meant to be an intensive, one-day design and planning workshop with the objective of convening stakeholders in that region around a common set of Big Data challenges –particularly those that may be especially relevant to that region. Each charrette aims to help establish a regional consortium that builds upon existing efforts within the region.
