Hi all,

We are excited to invite you to the next Helsinki Data Science Meetup on April 20, 2017, hosted by Finnair!

There is a highly interesting agenda with high-profile speakers from the Aviation industry. Annika Nordbo, Head of Data Science at Finnair, will talk about Finnair’s journey of using data in their commercial operations and the company’s journey to be a data-driven airline. Following Annika, we switch gears to an aircraft manufacturer. Matthew Evans, VP Digital Transformation at Airbus Group will highlight the importance of connecting data silos at an aircraft manufacturer using analytics examples from engineering, production, and operations.

17:30-18:00 Networking and snacks

18:00-18:15 Welcome words, Dirk Hofmann, DAIN Studios

18:15-19:00 Annika Nordbo, Head of Data Science, Finnair. Data take-off: Using data at Finnair for commercial success

The Finnair Headquarters are located at Tietotie 9, Vantaa, near the airport. The best way to get there from Helsinki is to take I or P train from the Central Railway Station (running every 10 minutes) and get off at the Aviapolis Station. From there, it’s a few minutes’ walk.

For catering, please sign up by Thursday, April 13. Just a kind request: As the demand is likely to be high, please do not sign up and take away a seat from someone else unless you really plan on coming!

Looking forward to seeing you on April 20!

Dirk, Ulla, Saara, and Annika
