The Unbound Alternative Data Conference was part of the inaugural Data Week, hosted by Eagle Alpha, a series of specialist meet-ups with industry experts across NYC.
On October 15th, we were joined by i360, RIWI, and Prosper Insights & Analytics who discussed data collection and methodologies when working with survey data in the US and globally highlighting case studies and future projections.
We received positive feedback from each of the events held during the week in either the host party’s offices, or a venue of their choice. The events were designed to be concentrated in nature with a smaller niche group of attendees – a format which worked well.
