Business Intelligence Vendor Bake-Off

The Carl Vinson Institute of Government’s Georgia Data Innovation Hub is inviting business intelligence platform vendors to present at the 2024 Data Analytics and Visualization Conference to demonstrate to state and local governments how their services and tools can help promote data-informed decision making. Last year’s conference brought 200 attendees from 70 different state and local government organizations. 

Vendors are encouraged to showcase their platform’s capabilities for data management, analysis, presentation, and deployment. The Bake-Off is a fast-paced, informative session that allows up to four vendors to emphasize their strengths and highlight differences with other products through a scripted demonstration with a common dataset on a real-world challenge from Georgians. Presentations will be around 15 minutes followed by a rapid-fire round of questions hosted by the Institute of Government.

Registration to be a part of the Bake-Off is $2,000 and includes two (2) regular conference registrations. Email Anna Wrigley Miller for more information and to register.
