Looker Launches BEACON Events to Take Data Experiences to the Next Level

New Global Event Series Brings Together Data Professionals and Industry Thought Leaders

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Looker today announced BEACON^(™), a global event series that will spotlight the latest innovations and most impactful solutions for maximizing the value of data. This multi-city experience will provide knowledge tracks, tools and perspectives on how to tap into the true power of data. BEACON kicks off April 14th in New York City, followed by Los Angeles on April 30th.

BEACON is tailored specifically for data professionals to help all businesses - large and small - jumpstart their modern data journey by showcasing data capabilities beyond traditional business intelligence (BI) and dashboards. As an everything-you-need opportunity, BEACON events offer expert advice, answers to key questions, an understanding of the modern data landscape and how to uncover new ways of utilizing the power of data.

“With our customers spanning every industry, geography and size of business, we are constantly discovering new ways to leverage data and position it within the daily work routine,” said Lissa Daniels, head of marketing at Looker. “BEACON brings all this variety to one place with content designed for both people that have little experience with data, and data professionals who are discovering new and interesting ways to incorporate data experiences into everyday business decisions.”

BEACON attendees can expect to hear from leaders and influencers in the data industry, along with Looker experts and customers. All speakers will share insight into how they have successfully expanded their use and value of data beyond dashboards to be a vital component of business operations and improved decision making. BEACON events will be complimentary and vary in length from full-day, half-day, and breakfast events, depending on the location.
