Join the Business Intelligence Collaboration Group (BICG), a UC-wide initiative with the mission of enhancing business intelligence across the University of California, at their inaugural summit on October 20th from 10:30-12:30 p.m. PDT. BICG Summits will be held quarterly on a rotating basis, with tech leaders from UCI kicking off the first event. Future summits will vary in size and format. 

The topic for the two-hour-long virtual conference is student data analytics and will be kicked off by Tom Andriola, vice chancellor for information, technology, and data at UCI and former vice president of information technology services and chief information officer for the UC system. 

“In today’s world, so much of what happens on our campuses is facilitated by technology and captured in data,” said Andriola. “Our analytics programs harness the power of data so we can help our students and alumni thrive in all aspects of the Anteater community – in their career and as citizens in our communities.”

The BICG Summit will also feature UCI speakers Larry Coon, Ryan Cherland, Tony Hwang, and Ray Vadnais. 

“We’ve made significant progress on a robust student data repository and analytical tools supporting data-driven decision-making,” said Coon. “We’re thrilled to host the first BICG Summit and share our progress within our campus and among our sister campuses. The BICG Summit promises to become a powerful platform for collaboration and information sharing across the University of California.”

The virtual-only Summit is free of charge and open to anyone in the UC system interested in business intelligence.
