Who is the PASS Business Analytics Conference For?

The BAC is designed for the end user who works in business and data analytics with a desire to learn about a variety of methods and technologies to support businesses in making data-driven decisions. They are non-technical data professionals found throughout the organization in Finance, Operations, Marketing, Sales, and Customer Service. Working with IT pros who architect, build, and facilitate data and analytics systems, business and data analysts can extract data from these systems to gain insights and drive the decision making process.

Unlike other conferences, the BAC has a focus on the real world, and offers applicable learning that will have an immediate and direct impact on the organization.
