We've got another event to be held in June. Details available on the events listing and also www.ukcif.co.uk Arik and I will be trying to figure how to webinar it better than last time, with more of the error my end....

Andrew, I'll send around a notice to Ning members about the Tuesday panel if you don't mind - there's plenty of room for anyone to attend virtually even if there might not be enough chairs for it in London ;-)
Ellen Naylor Comment by Ellen Naylor on March 7, 2010 at 3:17pm
I think it's terrific and I plan to attend from afar as best I can while tending to my Mother-in-Law in DC. Good luck with it all! You have really done a dynamite job with planning!!!
Andrew Beurschgens Comment by Andrew Beurschgens on March 7, 2010 at 2:45pm
Ellen, working with Arik, he has enabled it to be webinared and there is an invite pending. Also sent details through Twitter, left quite a few crumbs relative to the features and topics it promises and probably blown every Twitter etiquette there is?!
Ellen Naylor Comment by Ellen Naylor on February 8, 2010 at 12:06am
Great idea, Andrew! What about SKYPE?
Arik Johnson Comment by Arik Johnson on February 7, 2010 at 9:13pm
Great Andrew - looking forward to seeing what results ;-)
Eric Garland Comment by Eric Garland on February 7, 2010 at 3:47pm
Fantastic - that's the point of this umbrella concept, to connect more people in more places with a variety of events in the concept of intelligence. I can't wait to see what you've come up with.
Andrew Beurschgens Comment by Andrew Beurschgens on February 7, 2010 at 2:20pm
Thinking of placing the outcome from our UK panel event on 9/3 into this group and on Ning to get people to add their comments after the event and add to the anticipated rich tapestry of comment being generated given the calibre of audience, panel compeer and panelists, me excluded. What do people think?

Just lining up final details with the venue and our sponsors for the very first Intelligence Collaborative meeting here in Washington. We're expecting around 75 - 100 attendees to join us in Adams Morgan, Washington DC. It should be quiet a blast. More details to follow shortly.

Walter, I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…

Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective Klaus

I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation. Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting.  It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
