Data Modeling is concerned with documenting information requirements precisely to ensure that all stakeholders have a precise understanding of the requirements and outcomes from any information system. Data models are fundamental to any application of information management capability – including the concepts of Analytics, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence. \\Data Modeling Zone (DMZ) is an annual workshop series in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific. DMZ is the only event that focuses on developing data modeling skills no matter what level you are. You will share experiences and learn with other data professionals.\\Steve Hoberman, who coordinates the program, has trained more than 10,000 people in data modeling and is the author of nine data modeling books, including the bestseller Data Modeling Made Simple and the Data Modeling Scorecard.\\A broad spectrum of topics are suitable for this practitioner and business-focused International-level event, including:\\1) Managing information complexity, broadening uses, sources and types of data.\2) Working with technology change that impact data architecture, such as agile software. development, cloud services, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.\3) Working with new data structures like Graph, NoSQL and document data.\4) Gathering more complex requirements and understanding fact-based modeling techniques and schema-less data.\5) Building and maintaining enterprise models for future information architectures that create competitive advantage and support change.\\Sample topic areas include innovative data modeling techniques, case studies, and tools that improve the modeling process.
