Accenture GC SquareOur 12 strong round table of active minds in sporting and business analytics will gather this morning at Accenture on Grand Canal Square to address where crossover and shared learning can be identified in this rapidly developing area of expertise.

We will publish take aways to emerge from the event as well as initiatives that might come about as a result and, connectivity and time permitting you will be able to follow some of the thoughts as they emerge in near real time on twitter #SfBAnalytics.

Areas to be covered will include performance measurement as well as visualisation of the data gathered and how sport can be used as a ‘translation tool’ to expand the reach of data knowledge and understanding.
