1st Business Analytics and Data Science International Conference
(BizData 2025)
22nd May
The International Scientific Conference on Business Analytics and Data Science is dedicated to exploring the transformative power of analytics and data in today’s business world.
The fields of Business Analytics and Data Science have become critical drivers of innovation and decision-making in a rapidly evolving global economy. This conference serves as a platform to bring together young and senior researchers, industry professionals, and thought leaders to share insights, discuss challenges, and chart the future of these dynamic disciplines.
Throughout this event, we will delve into cutting-edge research, innovative applications, and emerging trends that demonstrate how businesses can harness the potential of data to create value and foster growth. From predictive modeling to machine learning, and from big data integration to ethical considerations, we aim to foster rich discussions that will inspire new perspectives and collaborations. Here is a list of potential research topics:
- Advanced Analytics in Business Decision-Making (e.g. Predictive modeling and forecasting; Optimization techniques for resource allocation; Prescriptive analytics and strategy development).
- Machine Learning and AI Applications in Business (e.g., Automation of processes and intelligent systems; Natural language processing for customer insights; Reinforcement learning in dynamic environments).
- Big Data Applications (e.g., Real-time data processing and analytics).
- Data Visualization and Communication (e.g., Designing impactful dashboards and reports; Effective storytelling with data; Tools and technologies for visualization).
