DSC is a three-day conference and one day workshop curated by Aegis with delegates from different industries and business functional areas. DSC 2017 was a huge success with 2094 delegates, by far the largest gathering of India’s data science community. DSC 2018 is expected to witness an even larger number of delegates.

Aegis created DSC with a mission to bring India at the centre stage of data science and to create a vendor neutral platform. DSC is a platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, highlighting best practices, innovations and discussing used cases among the practitioners which include start-ups developing breakthrough innovation, data scientists, technology vendors, product, services and solution providers.

Bhupesh Daheria, CEO of Aegis School of Data Science and Founder of DSC said “We at Aegis are excited to announce the 2nd edition of Data Science Congress. The lack of a formal forum for Data Science users and vendors urged us to create a platform to bridge this gap and build awareness to meet the skill shortage. The 2nd edition of DSC will continue in its mission to groom the Indian talent and data scientists in the field of Analytics, Big Data, AI, Machine Learning, Cyber Security and IoT and help them showcase their skills that will help India take leaps in the field of Data Science.
