There’s an interesting connection here to the insurance industry and the conference would be value added for insurance professionals. There are so many regulations in the insurance industry in areas such as privacy and auditing and the only way to make sure an insurance company is compliant with these rules is to understand the data, which is where data modeling comes in.   Register here.
