Summary

Back by popular demand, this SXSW meetup reunites the data-obsessed and innovation-hungry. In a digital landscape that shifts daily, "analytics" is no longer just about reporting on what happened yesterday—it’s about architecting what happens tomorrow. As the gap between raw data and creative innovation narrows, the role of the analyst is evolving from observer to navigator. Whether you’re a digital analyst, a data scientist or a CMO, join us to move beyond standard KPIs and discuss advanced analytics in product innovation. Come swap war stories, debate ethics, and explore how data democratization is changing the creative process.
