February 2019 Event to Include Data Strategy and Data Technology Tracks

TORONTO & NEW YORK – October 16, 2018 – Quandl, the leading platform for financial and alternative data, will host its third annual Quandl Data Conference (formerly the Alternative Data Conference) on February 28, 2019, at Convene’s 46th St. location in New York City.

“We launched this event nearly three years ago to create awareness of what was then a new idea: alternative data,” said Tammer Kamel, CEO of Quandl. “Alternative data has since experienced wide adoption, and we’re ready to share the brightest ideas around implementation and infrastructure. Our team is excited to continue setting the industry agenda on alternative data.”

Quandl will welcome 450 attendees from hedge funds, investment banks and other financial services companies throughout the US, Europe and Canada. As in past years, the conference’s Data Strategy track will feature the foremost thinkers from the alternative data ecosystem, whose insights will help investors move through the challenges of adopting and profiting from new types of data.

The event will feature invaluable content across three key themes:

  • Data and strategies to drive superior performance
  • The technology and infrastructure essential to success
  • New challenges to overcome as both demand and supply explode
