Andreas Weigend is one of the world's foremost experts on the future of big data, social-mobile technologies, and consumer behavior. Previously the chief scientist at Amazon, he is now the founding director of the Social Data Lab at Stanford.
Weigend considers questions such as: How might people gain control of how their data is used to actually make it work for and not against them? Is it possible for individuals to get more from big data than they contribute to it? What would it take and how feasible is it? How can companies and individuals become equal partners?

For data refiners and individuals alike, this is a chance to explore these questions and more with an experienced guide.
