- How In-Memory Computing Can Boost Cloud Performance for Big Data - Eric Frenkiel, MemSQL
Big data has ushered in new challenges for organizations, and today's decision-makers are faced with a multitude of solutions while lacking clear answers about how to leverage the cloud to effectively tackle big data. In this session, two Facebook and Y-Combinator graduates will discuss how top mobile, gaming and financial services companies are solving problems with in-memory computing.
- Tackling the Convergence of Big Data & Advanced Analytics Technology - Ian Hersey, Attensity
How are new sources of Big Data and analytic techniques and technology helping organizations find new truths and business opportunities?

- The Agile Architecture Revolution - Jason Bloomberg, ZapThink
It's technology that can help the organization deal with change, and leverage change for competitive, strategic advantage. If only we knew how to put it all together properly. Enter Agile Architecture. How can we design systems that provide such agility? Take the best part of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), combine with what works from the Agile Manifesto, and mix with Complex Systems Engineering to create a revolutionary approach to meeting changing business needs in the context of today's ever-changing set of technology capabilities.
