November’s Travel Meets Big Data event at Trinity College, Dublin was a mix of a data analytics contest and an educational event for people interested in travel technology.
Organised by non-profit Entrepreneurs Anonymous, the event was designed to encourage students, coders, data scientists and entrepreneurs to find new and innovative ways to tackle some of the big data challenges facing the travel industry. Although data science is not a new idea to business, doing it collaboratively and inviting an outside point of view is.
