Analyst First Canberra – a roaring success
The Canberra Chapter of Analyst First is off and running as of three hours ago, thanks to sponsorship by EMC Greenplum, the valuable time and energy of Graham Williams, the most famous data miner in Canberra, and now the head of the Canberra chapter of A1, and the 61 people attending, who together made it one of the largest Analytics events in Canberra to date.
Slides here, and a video of the talks will follow soon.
We look forward to active participation in A1 from Canberra’s Analytics community.

About us
Analyst First is a new approach to analytics, where tools take a far less important place than the people who perform, manage, request and envision analytics, while analytics is seen as a non-repetitive, exploratory and creative process where the outcome is not known at the start, and only a fraction of efforts are expected to result in success. This is in contrast with a common perception of analytics as IT and process.Authors
