Why we are so excited about DataHack Summit 2017?

Recently I attended a Data Science conference – full with celebrated & experienced speakers, nice looking agenda having multiple tracks and attended by a large number of industry professionals. What I took away from the conference was 2 days of networking, bunch of exchanged visiting cards and may be one good session which was useful for the data scientist inside me to some degree. Most of the sessions talked about Analytics / Data Science from a very high level to be useful for me. The same use cases – Alexa using Deep Learning or Target being able to predict a pregnancy in advance or Google driverless cars being slapped in sessions after sessions! This is not the first time this happened to me – this actually happens almost every time I attend an event like this.
