The visit was held on 3th of October 2017 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and Telekom Malaysia Innovation Centre,Cyberjaya.The visit was organised by Dr Chan Weng Howe,Dr Nazmona binti Mat Ali and other Technology and Information System lecturers from the Faculty of Computing,UTM,Skudai.The visit was attended by data engineering first year students.The aim of the visit is to give a brief overview to the students about big data analytics,IoT and many more.Through the visit,the students can undestand what is big data analytics,IoT and what it takes to be a data engineer and also data scientist.The visit also clarify the work prospect and the career path for the students so that we as a student know what the future can give to us.From the visit,the main important thing that we learn is that big data analytics and IoT is expanding and widely used around the world especially at the business,finance and government sector and it is a very important aspect in one’s organisation.The aim of the exhibition is that in this day and age we’re faced with an unprecedented influx of data, while everyone is aware of the value of data science and big data, harnessing its value and aligning it with strategic organizational goals still largely remains a challenge for most where most big data conferences are either too broad to be appreciated by techies or too technical to be useful for decision makers, Next Big Tech Asia aims to be the intersection for that missing link that connects the dots between big data and real-life use cases.Next Big Tech Asia 2017 is a big data conference happening in Malaysia that will illustrate actionable case-studies for the following sectors; Healthcare, Banking and Government. It is the anchor event for Big Data Week, the Global Festival of Data and it is jointly organised by MDEC and Knowledge Group.
