Day 2 of the conference kicked off with the keynote speaker named Graham Williams, Director of Data Science Cloud and Enterprise division from Microsoft. He told us the importance that a wholesome data would bring. ” The more data you get, more clear is the information”.
The way he explained and flow did make the topic interesting! He was perspicuous in his way of talking which made me like it.
