Posscon Speaker Harper Reed Announced!

As excitement for the upcoming POSSCON 2013 builds I was pleased when I learned from Todd Lewis that Harper Reed will be one of the speakers.  Harper served as CTO for President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign which centered around "vast digital data operation".  Why am I stoked? It is widely known that Obama's camp spent far less that Romney on the IT portion of his campaign but somehow managed to put Romney's IT personnel to shame.  I cannot proclaim to fully understand Harper's background being that he specializes in building paradigm-shifting tech, but I do understand that data science is playing a huge role in how the business world operates.  With Harper at the helm the importance of using the enormity of the Internet to bring people together mixed with the evolving of data science, Obama's successful campaign is but one of many contributing factors to why I am eager to hear what Harper has to say.
