The UC Berkeley School of Information is putting on a very interesting conference on emerging issues in data science on May 30-31. The array of speakers is really extraordinary. See

UC Berkeley’s DataEDGE conference brings together industry and academic leaders to discuss challenges and opportunities of big data.

Note that there are substantial registration discounts for attendees from non-profit institutions.

Full disclosure: I am an Adjunct Professor at the School of Information.
