Teams to Innovate With MicroStrategy 2019™
at Second Annual Datathon
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide
provider of enterprise analytics and mobility software, today
announced it will host the MicroStrategy Datathon from February 4
to February 5 at its 22nd annual enterprise analytics and mobility
conference, MicroStrategy World™ 2019, taking place at the Phoenix
Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona. The Datathon, sponsored by
Snowflake, the only data warehouse built for the cloud, is open to
registered attendees of MicroStrategy World -- sign up today.
The Datathon is designed to inspire participants to create
innovative analytics, AI, big data, or mobile applications using
MicroStrategy 2019™ with aggregated data from CharityBase, a free,
open-source charity data portal with public information on the
activities, locations, and finances of thousands of charities
registered in England and Wales. Individual participants and teams
with as many as five people will compete and leverage any of the
following platform components to build their own custom
applications: Rest APIs, Visualization SDK, Data Connector SDK,
mobile applications, transaction services, predictive models,
real-time visualizations, MicroStrategy Badge™, Dossier™, and
Workstation functionality, and much more.
Datathon competitors can also use third-party applications that
integrate with MicroStrategy and prepare and develop the necessary
code and APIs prior to the event, as long as the finished solution
is built on top of the MicroStrategy environment and the
CharityBase data set. The data set for this event will be hosted in
a Snowflake environment provided at the event. Participants will
have training resources and support from MicroStrategy and
Snowflake professionals at their disposal to build an immersive
solution that may incorporate AI, bots, NLG functionality, or other
technologies in conjunction with the MicroStrategy platform.
The competition will kick off at 9:00 a.m. MST on Monday,
February 4, and all teams will present their final solutions in the
exhibit hall on Tuesday, February 5 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
MST. Conference attendees will be able to vote for the People’s
Choice award via the MicroStrategy World mobile app. A panel of
judges--including Constellation Research Vice President and
Principal Analyst Doug Henschen, Snowflake Senior Solution
Architect Carlos Bouloy, and MicroStrategy Senior Executive Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer Tim Lang--will select the
$10,000 Grand Prize winner and the Lone Wolf award winner.
“This year’s Datathon is a call to action for our talented
tech-savvy community to hone their skills and use their creativity
to explore what’s possible,” said Mr. Lang. “We invite everyone who
is creative and passionate about data and social good to join us at
the Datathon. We hope to inspire and challenge unique ways to use
data and build cutting-edge solutions that magnify the impact,
visibility, and value of thousands of charity groups.”
To highlight MicroStrategy’s devotion to community outreach and
academic advancement, the Datathon will also be open to college and
university student participants at no charge, with full access to
the MicroStrategy World 2019 conference. To register and learn more
