Way too many people in the United States are affected by violence each year. But Goodie College Lab: Hack The Violence is meant to change that. It is a 4-week social impact tech incubator where college students get a taste of the startup life, and see their ideas about ways to combat violence get turned into reality. This Prototype + Marketing Hackathon, Phase II in the program, is a 2-day experience where UI/UX designers, digital marketers, entrepreneurs, web designers, branding/communication specialists, business analysts, and graphic designers donate their talent, and join the teams of these college founders in an effort to turn their ideas to combat violence into clickable prototypes, landing pages, logos, revenue models, and plans to get to their first 100 users/customers.

ABSTRACT:  We will lead a healthy, fun, and mature dialogue on whether or not drinking enhances the thinking and creativity of those within the technology industry.  If not, what beverage vice do people use in the technology industry to get their creative juices flowing (i.e. red bull, coffee, soda, 5 Hour Energy, etc...)?  Does alcohol influence consumers to be more vested in technology (i.e. music, Apple, Pandora, hackathons, Netflix, etc...)?  We will explore if there is any correlation between alcohol and technology.   Mistress of Ceremony -  Tenisha Bell, Perfect Pitch Media   Moderator – Gloria Neal, News Reporter   Panelists #1 – Kelly Mayfield, Pandora   Panelist #2 – C.

In every industry, companies are moving up this path with a strikingly similar stride. Snowflake Computing: Conventional data warehouses and big data solutions increasingly struggle to deliver on their fundamental purpose: to make it easy to amass all your data, enable rapid analytics, and quickly make data insights available to all of your users and systems that need them. To solve that, we built a new SQL data warehouse from the ground up for the cloud, one designed with a patented new architecture to handle today’s and tomorrow’s data and analytics. The result? A data warehouse that delivers performance, simplicity, concurrency and affordability not possible with other data analytics platforms. Kx Systems: Founded to address one of the most basic problems in high-performance computing: the inability of traditional relational database technology to keep up with the explosive escalation of data volumes. Ever since, the company’s singular goal has been to provide its customers with the most efficient and flexible tools for ultra-high-speed processing of real-time, streaming and historical data. Esgyn: EsgynDB, powered by Apache Trafodion (incubating), brings enterprise-class capabilities to the Hadoop ecosystem, enabling you to bring transactional workloads and operational reporting to Hadoop using standard SQL syntax. With EsgynDB, you can jump start your operational Big Data environment while leveraging your existing SQL database expertise and business logic. The EsgynDB database engine is a massively parallel SQL engine with roots and long history of supporting the most demanding transactional workloads. All transactions are fully distributed and fully ACID – atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable. Anova Analytics: Companies are challenged to successfully deploy a Data Science Strategy. 73% of adopters fail to produce an ROI.  We solve this problem with our DS-Team Platform, a secure unified team environment, coupled with our BootCamp Series to empower teams with the right skills, tools, methodologies and technologies to succeed. Our platform comes with all the tools a Data Science team will need to work together, plan, design, develop, test and produce Data Products. Be that a Regression Model, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or Deep Learning, using the most popular open source tools such as R, Python, SQL, in conjunction with Kanban board, workspaces, test, audio and video communication. Our BootCamps take you from Raw Data to Finished Product in weeks, at significant savings of all other alternative strategies.
