In today’s digitally driven world, data-based decision making has never been more significant, with businesses across the world using big data and artificial intelligence to support growth, improve efficiency and customer engagement. Across the MENA region, digital transformation with a particular focus on knowledge-based industries is gaining momentum. Against this backdrop, the Smart Data Summit Plus 2022 (SDS+) returns in November to showcase the latest advancements in the big data and advanced analytics space.

From banking and real estate to hospitality and healthcare, the summit spans across a wide range of sectors and explores the ways artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing each of them. The two day summit will bring together over 400 senior big data analytics and AI data experts to share knowledge, innovation and build a network of valuable connections.

Following the overwhelmingly positive feedback, we are excited to be bringing back the SDS+ Data Awards, an initiative celebrating organizations that are excelling in the implementation of big data analytics and AI.
