SUMMARY:Big Data from Space: Actionable Intelligence on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Big Data from Space\nActionable Intelligence on Earth\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Wednesday\, October 22\, 2014\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dramatic disruptions to Earth observation are being delivered by ambitious startups that are launching large fleets of small\, interconnected satellites and developing cutting-edge analytics. The number of earth-gazing satellites has nearly doubled in 2014 alone. With views into daily global activity being refreshed at a faster rate than ever before\, selling raw pixels and signals is not enough to satisfy industry demands. It is these startups that are changing how we use Big Data in business here on earth. \nResponding to ever-expanding industry demands by delivering “near real-time” data and developing cutting-edge analytics at a lower cost\, these startups are providing actionable insights for many industries. Finance\, insurance\, agriculture\, forestry\, fishing\, mapping\, manufacturing\, shipping\, mining\, sustainable industries\, and energy enterprises are using eyes and ears in the sky to make better decisions and improve operational efficiency with actionable data sent ultimately from space. \nAs funding moves rapidly from government to commercial\, the global market for satellite-sourced intelligence is predicted to grow by over $5 billion by 2019. Venture capital firms such as DFJ Venture and Khosla Ventures are investing in innovative startups\, with successful exits like the recent acquisitions of satellite operator Skybox Imaging by Google for $500 million and climatology Big Data analytics venture The Climate Corporation by Monsanto for nearly $1 billion. \n\nWhy are industry giants eager to consume data from the sky?\nWhich markets will be transformed using Big Data from Space?\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Amaresh Kollipara\, Principal\, Space Angels Network\, and Managing Partner\, Earth2Orbit\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Pavel Machalek\, CEO\, Spaceknow \nTheresa Condor\, Vice-President Sales & Business Development\, Spire \nRobbie Schingler\, Co-Founder\, President and COO\, Planet Labs \nShay Har-Noy\, Ph.D\, Senior Director – Geo-spatial Big Data\, DigitalGlobe \nJulian Mann\, Co-Founder and Vice-President Product Management\, Skybox Imaging  (acquired by Google) \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Demo Pavillion\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Mapbox  •  Spaceknow  •  DauriaGEO  •  UrtheCast  •  Alanax  •  Silicon Valley Space Center  •  SETI \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Cemex Auditorium\nat the Knight Management Center\nStanford Graduate School of Business\n655 Knight Way\nStanford\, CA 94025
