focus on creating data scientists from business skill set point of view
To build an analytics industry via community building
The need to have more uses cases to encourage entrepreneurs to adopt

“The 2-day premier anchor event of Big Data Week has put Malaysia on the
map as the regional hub for data intelligence and analytics. An event of
this magnitude and momentum will attract deep interest and I believe it
will spawn a national revolution in Big Data. Kudos to the organizers for
doing a fantastic job drawing a big crowd, but more important, the right
crowd for this agenda!” – Heoh Chin Fah, SNIA Malaysia
“There was a wide variety of technologies, vendors and mechanisms for
delivering business insights from Big Data to be seen and heard at 'Big Data
Week 2015'. This was complimented by a diverse set of business needs and
use cases from delegates. Combining these together can only suggest that
the opportunity to work with and leverage Big Data and Big Data Innovation

“It was a real pleasure being part of the BDWKL 2015. The crowd; the
delivery of the conference topic; and the entire event planning was simply
awesome. I had the opportunity to engage one-one with key stakeholders
driving Big Data in Malaysia and beyond. The diversity in perspective of the
crowd indeed expanded my horizon on Big Data, offering me some essential
gems that will bring a difference in the way we do business in FLEXIROAM.
As an exhibitor, this was also a perfect platform to showcase some of our
products, and to gather objective feedbacks for our better product and
business development. Thumbs Up to the event organizers of BDWKL
2015!” – Jason Khoo, Reapfield Technologies

opener to many of our students and staffs on the topic of Big Data
analytics. A big thank you to the organizer for organizing such meaningful

“At the invitation of MDeC, I was fortunate enough to attend the Big Data
Week in KL in 2015 as a speaker and a participant in the panel discussions
with the leadership team of MDEC. I was surprised at the scale of the
event and could easily see that significant planning had gone into arranging
a diverse and experienced range of speakers to contribute to the
conference. It is clear that Malaysia is committed to making itself a key
player in the provision of data analytics! I also thoroughly enjoyed being a
member of the advisory panel that met in Big Data Week prior to the
conference and was particularly impressed with the open and engaging
approach used to facilitate the discussions throughout the day. It was a
pleasure to be involved” – Barry Sandison, Deputy Secretary of Australia’s Health
and Information Department
“I am impressed by the vision and determination of Malaysia to become a
leader of big data in ASEAN. MDeC is very strategic to make this happen
and has been taking the right steps to empower Malaysia to be a world-

knowledge on big data strategy, data monetization business models and
cross-industry applications to MDeC and the ecosystem of big data in
Malaysia” - Dr. Charm Toa, Big Data Elite Asia

team at MDEC!” – Jimmy Tan, N2N Connect

to-face learning hub that will be set up soon. We also managed to usher

To have more talks on real case studies
To start aggressive promotional campaigns at least two months before
event date
To work with a single event management company
