European Data Warehouse & Business Intelligence Conference 2011

The European Data Warehouse & Business Intelligence Conference is one of the leading independent conferences on these topics in Europe.

The upcoming 2011 edition is aimed at all aspects of data warehousing and business intelligence. It will focus on aspects such as: trends, design guidelines, product overviews and comparisons, best practices, and new evolving technologies. In addition, the two other conferences will also contain many sessions that business intelligence and warehouse specialists will enjoy.

With this year's call for presentations we are trying to attract proposals for sessions on traditional and future data warehousing and business intelligence aspects. Delegates have expressed a preference for the use of case studies rather than theoretical or abstract topics. We would particularly like practitioners in the field to respond to this call for papers.
