We thought it was interesting enough to share with everyone, if you are in the market for a new ride.

Look-back at last Thursdays Membership Meeting at UoT... the meeting was a very first on the topic of AI and IBM Watson's Analytics. Did you know there was a difference between IBM Watson and IBM Watson Analytics? Now we know! Seeing exactly how fast and intuitive Watson Analytics tools sliced and diced through some interesting airline customer satisfaction data was, dare I say, Fun?? Hope you can join us next time for the learning, networking, technology-focused-conversations, and a great breakfast put on by the University of Tampa culinary students. Thanks go out to the presenter, Ericsson, with IBM Watson Analytics.
