Big Data Love + Upcoming Events

Last Friday, we hosted our famous Big Data Love Event at Capital Factory‘s snazzy new co-working space.

Aside from the great view from the 16^th floor of the Omni Hotel, neatly organized office space, and a secret meeting room behind bookshelves (so cool), we had the opportunity to catch up with Austin’s most successful entrepreneurs and many friends. For those of you who made it out, thank you. Hope to see you at the next event!

This week, Infochimps is presenting at Intel Developers Forum in San Francisco and moderating a panel at Big Data Innovation Summit in Boston. You can also find us at the following events coming soon:
