Qonnections Global Conference in Dallas Brings the Qlik World Together

Qlik has announced that the company is expecting a record number of attendees to be on hand for Qonnections 2019, May 13-16 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Dallas, TX. The conference brings together Qlik customers, partners, influencers and data enthusiasts to help users learn and better capitalize on how to use data to innovate and transform their organizations.

What:

Qonnections 2019 focuses on providing customers and partners with the knowledge and best practices they need to lead with data, through Qlik’s end-to-end platform that blends data management and analytics to address the entire data supply chain. CEO Mike Capone will share Qlik’s strategic vision and roadmap, showcasing how Qlik is helping customers tackle their most difficult data challenges while driving the 3rd generation of BI and analytics.

Additional keynote presentations will showcase how Qlik customers are transforming with a holistic and unified, strategic approach to data and analytics through Qlik. These customers are empowering users to transform the whole organization, going from raw data to democratized insights with Qlik. Special focus will be given to how various unique aspects of Qlik’s portfolio are enabling these transformations, including: multi-cloud, self-service for data, how big data is just data, accelerating insights through augmented intelligence, and the ability to capture insights from any part of the organization. Qlik Sense®, QlikView® and Qlik Data Catalyst® trainings and certification exams will also be offered.

Lindsey Vonn, Olympic gold medalist, world-record World Cup ski winner, author and LV Foundation founder will be giving a fireside chat discussing how passion helped her overcome challenges and shaped her approach to leadership.

Data Literacy experts Alan Schwarz, Ben Jones and others will join Qlik Global Head of Data Literacy Jordan Morrow in a roundtable on the importance of data literacy, how far the movement has come since the launch of the Data Literacy Project and what leading organizations need to do to make sure they correctly empower their workforce with the data skills necessary to lead.

Qlik Hack Challenge. A highly anticipated annual event, this hackathon uncovers the very best app building skills and development talent using Qlik APIs, Qlik Core and code. This year we’re calling on developers to participate in the “There is no Planet B” challenge, where data will be provided by Qlik corporate responsibility partner the United Nations (UN) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Qlik and the UN challenge the community to create a solution to reduce travel-related carbon dioxide emissions. Every hackathon participant will have access to Qlik Branch®, a collaborative developer workspace and community, and support from internal Qlik experts moderating the event.

Qlik Late Night Lunacy. At the Late Night Lunacy event, teams consisting of Qlik Sense and QlikView insight experts will also participate in the “There is no Planet B” challenge. For the first time, these teams will also build their world-changing solutions prior to Qonnections. At the event, teams will be able to improve their applications, ask the experts for advice and then present their solution for reduced travel-related carbon dioxide emissions.
