I am on fire about our Keynote Speaker, Mico Yuk! Mico is someone I admire very much. She’s a Business Intelligence coach, thought-leader, author, blogger, and data scient, author of Data Visualization for Dummies, and we are very fortunate that Mico has agreed to keynote at the PASS Business Analytics Conference in Santa Clara, CA, April 20-22. Mico will leading the charge of all-star lineup of top speakers from across the world of business and data analytics. Not only is Mico an expert in her fields, but her experience, passion and belief in the power of Business Analytics and Data Visualisation mean that she is the right person to lead the charge at PASS Business Analytics Conference. I’m so delighted that she has come on board. I’ve been fortunate enough to speak with Mico on the phone, as well as listen to a lot of her sessions on YouTube, and I cannot wait until I finally meet her in person.
