“Over the years Data Science Salon has grown into an amazing community of likeminded practitioners across multiple domains. We learn from each other different applications and techniques that normally we would not have seen within our own industry. Such a strong community of smart applied data scientists within an open and collaborative setting!”
Moody Hadi
Head of Credit Analytics New Product Development, S&P Global

“Both Viacom and Data Science Salon are known for being at the forefront of their fields. We’re proud to provide a platform for DSS, and to host the most relevant conversations on data science in media and entertainment.”
Colleen Fahey Rush
CHIEF RESEARCH OFFICER, VIACOM

"We at Katana Graph had the pleasure of being a sponsor at the DSS NYC event in December 2022. Every aspect starting from the sponsorship support, to the venue and post event communication has been absolutely stellar. This event has attracted some of the brightest and most engaging audience members as well as industry leaders which resulted in very thoughtful conversations. We look forward to supporting future DSS events!"
Justin Fine
DIRECTOR OF FIELD ENGINEERING AT KATANA GRAPH

“Their conferences are smaller, more intimate, with lots of opportunities for workshops and networking, which helps fill that need in the data science community to get together from time to time.”
David Talby
CTO, John Snow Labs

“Data Science SALON is a must-attend event for decision-makers across the data science landscape. The combination of high-quality content and power networking creates a unique opportunity to generate business.”
Matt Denesuk
SVP, DATA ANALYTICS & AI, ROYAL CARIBBEAN GROUP

“The Data Science Salon series is the most important new conversation happening in the industry right now.”
Eduardo Arino de la Rubia
HEAD OF DATA SCIENCE, INSTAGRAM

"Conferences are dice-rolls and I felt so lucky. That was top notch content. The career path I chose is a bit lonely, because if you run an AI/ML COE, then you are the only person doing that at your company. That makes me appreciate the community you are building at DSS all the more!"
