IoA’s Director of Education, Dr Clare Walsh, Featured Keynote ; Theatre Speaker

• Institute of Analytics (IoA) is the world’s leading not-for-profit professional body dedicated to helping members stay ahead in the fast-paced data-driven world.

• IoA’s global membership encompasses analytics and data science professionals. 

By 2030, the data profession is likely to have grown by more than 31% throughout the world. Increasingly, data will impact our professional and personal lives so there is a pressing need to ensure more people understand its significance whilst maintaining high ethical standards. 

As the world’s leading professional membership body, we represent those starting out in the world of data to thought leaders at the cutting edge of our industry. Each of our membership packages is tailored to offer benefits unique to everyone be they a student,  graduate or an experienced professional. There are also group memberships, ideal for large corporates, SMEs, Governments, or those within the third sector.

Our mission is very much aligned to that of the Big Data & AI World Show which is to illustrate how Big Data and AI can help people make better business decisions, automate processes, and optimise costs. However, the incorporation of AI into widespread use along with data-driven leadership remains low and elusive.

The show aims to help people address these challenges with experts who drive success.

Come along and meet our team on Stand B360 to find out how membership could benefit you or your organisation. Our Director of Education, Dr Clare Walsh, will be speaking on 9 March at 11:15am on Upskilling the workforce: what SMEs can do to keep up but will also be on our stand to offer insights into the work of the IoA.
