The SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discover and Data Mining (KDD) (http://www.kdd.org/kdd2017/)  is the premier interdisciplinary conference bringing together researchers and practitioners from data science, data mining, knowledge discovery, large-scale data analytics, and big data. It was brought to Halifax this year by the Big Data Analytics Institute and the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University. 

Participating companies and academics will bring a poster describing their R&D activities, requirements and research interests, and mingle to exchange ideas and explore partnership potential.

A brief presentation of the funding programs that support industry-academic partnerships available from funding agencies NSERC and Mitacs will be given.
