Business Analytics and Digital Strategy Forum
Opening the door for collaboration
Members share expert insights, exchange ideas, and brainstorm solutions
The Business Analytics and Digital Strategy Forum was created due to the ongoing success of the college’s annual Business Analytics Symposium, which is held in Des Moines, Iowa. The symposium, Iowa’s premier analytics event, brings together thought leaders and analytics professionals from some of the nation’s leading insurance, financial services, marketing, and manufacturing companies. The symposium opened the door for collaboration among business and industry experts throughout the Midwest.
