The AAA's Centers for Advancing Accounting hosted their inaugural event: the Accounting IS Big Data Conference, on September 3-4, 2015 in New York City at the New York Marriott Marquis located in the heart of Times Square.
The meeting was amazing. If you did not attend, you will still be able to participate! The sessions were all video taped and will be made available to AAA members shortly. Case materials used during the conference will also be made available to AAA academic members soon. (Click on the Conference "Members Only" button above.)
Webinar Series Webinars will be held through out the coming year to enable AAA members to explore key big data and analytics areas in much more depth. The first two in the series will focus on how to get started using Tableau in your courses and identifying potential data sets that can be pulled into Tableau for analysis. Don’t forget to register when AAA members receive the email announcement of these October 27 and November 3 webinars. One hour CPE credit will be available for those attending the live webinar. The webinars will also be recorded and available for later viewing.
