The Institute for Health and Business Insight is excited to host the "Annual
Advanced Analytics and Predictive Modeling Forum" for the
fourteenth consecutive year. The event brings in business and analytics
leaders from a variety of industries and backgrounds - from companies such
as General Motors to The Dow Chemical Company - to share and discuss ideas
and solutions to business problems. The theme of this year's forum will be
"The Dark Side of Analytics", encompassing the mistakes and ethical
boundaries associated with Big Data, analytics, and visualization, and ways
we can correct and prevent these from occurring. For more information on the
event, please email us at ihbi@xxxxxxxxx, or check out our website at

We hope to see you there!
