Healthcare will be a major focus of this year’s Florida Business Analytics Forum, taking place on Thursday. The event is hosted by the University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business.
More than 700 interested parties have already registered for the virtual forum and registration is still open by visiting the event site. The forum takes place from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“Analytics and creativity are at the heart of everything we do at the USF Muma College of Business. When we envisioned this forum in 2017, our main purpose was to bring creative and powerful new ideas in the analytics space to our business community,” said Balaji Padamanhan, Ph.D., organizer of the event.
“To do this, we actively seek thought leaders [with] high-impact problems where they also have a significant novel idea in analytics,” he said. “Over the years these have included the importance of large-scale experimentation, combining analytics with blockchain ideas, thinking of societal and fairness issues in the use of analytics and the very significant impact some algorithms can have in domain like healthcare.”
The Florida Business Analytics Forum is the signature event of the college’s Center for Analytics and Creativity, designed to facilitate the movement of new ideas and knowledge, bring together thought leaders who make analytics work in organizations and inspire cutting-edge ideas within the analytics space.
Speakers this year will address the future of AI – Artificial Intelligence – in medicine, as well as ways to deal with racial bias and AI applications for dyslexia. This is the fourth year that the forum will occur.
