WHAT: The Biennial Research Conference on Data Science for Business and Economics is hosted this year by the John and Donna Krenicki Center for Business Analytics and Machine Learning at Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management.

We encourage talks that push the frontier of our understanding and help the complexity that many industry leaders and researchers are facing.
