As you plan your travel for AMCIS 2012 please check out the exciting
events in Business Intelligence sponsored by Teradata University Network
(TUN).

<br>
<b>1. AMCIS 2012 Workshop: Big Data</b><br>
<b>Presenters</b>: Hugh J. Watson, University of Georgia and Ramesh Sharda, Oklahoma State University<br>
<b>When</b>: Thursday, August 9th from 8:30am-1:00pm<br>
<br>
This workshop explores issues related to the management of big data sets
which are beyond the capabilities of commonly used corporate software.
New methodologies, technologies and strategies are needed to capture,
manage and process big data. Big data sets
require a new set of database structures, statistical analysis tools,
and visualization applications.

<b>When</b>: Friday, August 10th, from 7 pm – 9 pm<div><br>
Teradata University Network (TUN) is a free resource for faculty and

data, and related topics. The network allows students and faculty to
gain hands-on experience. TUN is led by a board
of IS academics focused on sharing teaching tools and improving the
resources available to faculty to students worldwide. This reception is a
networking event to allow AMCIS attendees interested in these topics
interact, learn about TUN, get examples of new
resources, and meet some of the TUN academic board members. <br>
