KNIME Spring Summit 2020 – Data Science in Action – Goes Virtual

ZURICH, March 24, 2020 — KNIME announced in light of COVID-19 that its annual conference KNIME Spring Summit will move online, starting Monday, March 30, and running through the month of April 2020.

“For many years, the summit has been our main event to bring the KNIME community together,” said Michael Berthold, co-founder and CEO of KNIME. “We are doing our best to reflect that spirit through our online event, trying to put selected presentations online and allowing for at least some direct interaction with the core KNIME team through dedicated Q&A sessions. On a positive note, by streaming the summit, people can participate from anywhere, and we look forward to connecting all those home offices across the world.”

The online summit offers an opportunity for IT planners, data team managers and data scientists working remotely to take a day and learn how open-source KNIME Analytics Platform easily allows them to create visual data science workflows that can solve everyday problems. KNIME Server, the commercial complement to the Analytics Platform, enables upgrading to enterprise-grade deployment, collaboration and management to meet team and company growing needs.

On Monday, March 30, the virtual classroom doors open with a variety of courses on beginner and advanced data science, data wrangling, as well as courses on big data and machine learning.

On Wednesday, April 1, the following highlighted summit talks will be livestreamed:

  • The Future of Data Science: Integrated Deployment, by Michael Berthold
  • What’s New and Cooking in KNIME, by Bernd Wiswedel and Jim Falgout
  • Closing keynote by Dean Abbott, by custom of a long-standing KNIME Summit tradition

Throughout the month of April, the Virtual Summit will continue with presentations by KNIME users, interactive webinars and more.

Sessions and webinars are free of charge. Courses are available at a reduced price of 50 euros ($55) per class.
