    I just wanted to bring up the Texas Analytics Summit again. I know it is short notice, but we have a little capacity and I have been authorized to give a reduced rate for the conference to members of this forum ($150 off, reducing the cost to $100). It is a great opportunity to not only hear some great talks, but hang out in Austin, Texas for a few days!

    A few of the speakers are :
    Eric Smith
    Chief Data and Analytics Officer at USAA

    Dr. Charles Thomas
    Chief Data and Analytics Officer at General Motors

    Brett Hurt
    CEO and co-founder of data.world

    Dr. James Scott
    Author of "AIQ: How People and Machines are Smarter Together"

    Jodi Blomberg
    Managing Director, Analytic Strategy at Charles Schwab

    Robert Welborn
    Head of Data Sciences and Advanced Analytics - Connected Vehicles at General Motors

    Please reach out to me if you are interested in attending. Here's a link to the conference website: Texas Analytics Summit 2018
