LexisNexis Risk Solutions hosts an annual HPCC Systems Engineering Summit. The purpose of the Summit is to gather engineers, data scientists, and technology professionals to share knowledge and future roadmap plans for the HPCC Systems platform. This event is dedicated to showcase our community and have industry and academia present their HPCC Systems use cases, research projects, and share their experience on how they leverage the HPCC Systems platform.


New this year, we offered a pre-event workshop on Tuesday October 3 to our Community Day participants. The workshop titled “Mastering Your Big Data with ECL” was ideally suited for those wanting to understand the HPCC Systems platform and learn ECL to build powerful data pipelines.

This year was our 2nd annual HPCC Systems technical poster presentations competition, showcasing the work of our academia community. We would like to congratulate all our participants and winners!

We had a great lineup of speakers from industry and academia. The live-streamed recordings are available via the HPCC Systems YouTube channel and the links to specific talks are below. The event was promoted via Twitter #HPCCSummit.
