KIVI Informatics would like to bring to your attention this online event through our sister association, the KNVI, and in particular the AI, Data Science & Analytics interest group.

The word "data" is still gaining popularity. Both in business and in our personal lives, we are bombarded with data on a daily basis: From statistics on COVID, the war in Ukraine, the latest corporate financial trends to the effectiveness of the latest marketing campaign. So data is literally everywhere. We are talking about many ZettaBytes (1021) and the speed at which the mountain of data is growing is downright staggering. How good those statistics are then remains to be seen. There is a lot of chaff (read: statistical juggling of data) among the wheat.

As a result of this advance, we see that "data management" is becoming increasingly important, if not absolutely necessary. There is a risk in this: if we are not careful, we will fall into the trap of buzzword bingo.

In this session, Bas van Gils stimulates us with the proposition: 'it is nonsense to make a distinction between "data" and "information"'. Based on this statement and illustrated with a practical case, Bas will discuss a number of aspects surrounding data and good data management. Bas is a partner at Strategy Alliance, lecturer at the Antwerp Management School and author of the book 'Data Management, a gentle introduction', among others.
