focus on creating data scientists from business skill set point of view

To build an analytics industry via community building

The need to have more uses cases to encourage entrepreneurs to adopt

but I was blown away by the number of delegates, calibre of the audience

and the number of people who visited the Cloudera booth. Thank you so

much MDeC & DSA for a phenomenal event” - Richard Jones, Cloudera

“The 2-day premier anchor event of Big Data Week has put Malaysia on the

map as the regional hub for data intelligence and analytics. An event of

this magnitude and momentum will attract deep interest and I believe it

will spawn a national revolution in Big Data. Kudos to the organizers for

doing a fantastic job drawing a big crowd, but more important, the right

crowd for this agenda!” – Heoh Chin Fah, SNIA Malaysia

“There was a wide variety of technologies, vendors and mechanisms for

delivering business insights from Big Data to be seen and heard at 'Big Data

Week 2015'. This was complimented by a diverse set of business needs and

use cases from delegates. Combining these together can only suggest that

the opportunity to work with and leverage Big Data and Big Data Innovation

in Malaysia is large and only set to get bigger, starting now!” - AWS

event well done. The massive turnout was a major plus point for us as

Anchor Event on 21-22 April 2015

41

“It was a real pleasure being part of the BDWKL 2015. The crowd; the

delivery of the conference topic; and the entire event planning was simply

awesome. I had the opportunity to engage one-one with key stakeholders

driving Big Data in Malaysia and beyond. The diversity in perspective of the

crowd indeed expanded my horizon on Big Data, offering me some essential

gems that will bring a difference in the way we do business in FLEXIROAM.

As an exhibitor, this was also a perfect platform to showcase some of our

products, and to gather objective feedbacks for our better product and

business development. Thumbs Up to the event organizers of BDWKL

2015!” – Jason Khoo, Reapfield Technologies

“The two-day conference at Sunway Convention centre has been an eye-

opener to many of our students and staffs on the topic of Big Data

analytics. A big thank you to the organizer for organizing such meaningful

event as it demonstrates to the public the importance of analytics in

business and how it affects Malaysia economic. Not just it allows public to

see the importance it also cultivates researchers to research on topics like

analytics” – Dr. Lim Tong Ming, Sunway University

Some Wonderful Testimonials for the BDW

42

“At the invitation of MDeC, I was fortunate enough to attend the Big Data

Week in KL in 2015 as a speaker and a participant in the panel discussions

with the leadership team of MDEC. I was surprised at the scale of the

event and could easily see that significant planning had gone into arranging

a diverse and experienced range of speakers to contribute to the

conference. It is clear that Malaysia is committed to making itself a key

player in the provision of data analytics! I also thoroughly enjoyed being a

member of the advisory panel that met in Big Data Week prior to the

conference and was particularly impressed with the open and engaging

approach used to facilitate the discussions throughout the day. It was a

pleasure to be involved” – Barry Sandison, Deputy Secretary of Australia’s Health

and Information Department

“I am impressed by the vision and determination of Malaysia to become a

leader of big data in ASEAN. MDeC is very strategic to make this happen

and has been taking the right steps to empower Malaysia to be a world-

class big data leader. It is my honor to contribute my experience and

knowledge on big data strategy, data monetization business models and

cross-industry applications to MDeC and the ecosystem of big data in

Malaysia” - Dr. Charm Toa, Big Data Elite Asia

marketing and organizing partners for the event. This is very good exposure

for MSC companies like us which focus on BIG DATA. Thanks to you and the

team at MDEC!” – Jimmy Tan, N2N Connect

“INTAN would like to express our high gratitude to MDeC for inviting us to

join Big Data Week event and be a partner in MDeC booth. The strategic

location of our kiosk had attracted many attentions not only from public

officers but also private officers. We managed to get details of 89 applicants

which registered to MyProCert Data Science MOOC to come over to our face-

to-face learning hub that will be set up soon. We also managed to usher

many public officers to join MyProCert Data Science MOOC program. By the

way, the location of the event is quite strategic and the food is awesome” –
