Conferences

Speaker Book Recommendations

Purpose

As an unusual and interesting feature of the conference, we asked each presenter to recommend one book – broadly related to their conference topic – which they consider essential reading. This provided a ready-made opportunity for a brief introductory comment form each speaker, i.e. just a quick statement on why they chose it.

Two lucky attendees walked off with a great little library on data warehouseing and BI.
