Well, while loads of information is a truth, the monotony is well broken by continuous engagement of the audience via interesting games and activities in between. The participants have a  lot of opportunity to gain additional goodies, other than knowledge around analytics, by being a part of exclusive games, competitions and activities hosted by Cypher. Conferences could not have been so much fun before. [dropcap size=”2″]4[/dropcap]It connects industry and academia- It brings people across industry and academia together, providing a learning platform for all. In other larger summits hosted across the globe, while the industry gains the central focus, academia is often left out. But given the importance of academia in the analytics industry, Cypher offers a great platform that brings experts from both industry and academia– all alike. As analytics education is at a state of constant evolution in India, it is the perfect medium to boost academia. It gives an opportunity to understand how businesses are evolving and how academia is supporting it and vice versa. [dropcap size=”2″]5[/dropcap] It recognizes the best in the industry- The Data Science Excellence awards at Cypher is one of its kind awards in the analytics industry that recognizes the best in the analytics and data science world. Emerging analytics services startup, analytics product startup, best boutique analytics firm, best data science project, most admired data science product were some of the categories last year that got recognition at Cypher. It not only appreciates the best in analytics and data science world but is also full of fun. It seconds none in terms of energy and enthusiasm around it.
