PART 2: Join the Enterprise Analytics Community on Tuesday, October 18, 2022 at UA Week in San Diego to participate in a debate. Attendees will be split into two groups where they will work together to draft up an argument, for vs. against, to defend an important analytics topic or situation. Each group will have 20 minutes to work collaboratively to draft their argument and select a presenter(s) from within their group, and then each group will have 10 minutes to share their views (a fast paced 40 minutes).

Be prepared to exercise your innovative thinking and come with an open mind, as you may be purposefully put on the “for” team when you are actually “against” it and vice versa to help you think constructively to promote further development and advancement. Ultimately, we want to help you meet more people during this timeframe, take part in an interesting, informative, and collaborative activity, and most importantly to have some fun. The topic for the Enterprise Analytics Community is “Data First or Business Problem First/ Start with the data or start with business problems?
