It’s time to take that jumbled, dirty, ugly data and turn it into something beautiful through technology! The organizing committee is working closely with the CCDC to curate a set of well-defined challenge statements to make public data easier to access and analyze, and the impact that a 24-hour event can have. Participants will have access to subject-matter experts, real datasets, in addition to the basics: Wi-fi, meals, snacks, caffeine, and a dedicated nap room.
