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.
