SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In just the past few years, technological advancements in machine learning have enhanced analytics, scalability and data. But the real story is with its pioneers who adopt them, innovate them and drive processes that aim to maximize value. To that end, Minitab, maker of smart data analysis software and provider of expert statistical services, will hold its annual Minitab Insights conference September 12 – 14, 2018 at the Scottsdale Resort at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona. This conference plays a key role in Minitab's quest to empower people with the tools and skills to solve tomorrow's challenges by harnessing their organization's data today.

The reception from Minitab customers and loyal users has been overwhelmingly positive with over 90% of 2017 attendees expressing they learned something they could actually start using immediately in their jobs.
This year's keynote speaker, Bill Kahn, Senior Vice President of Risk Modeling at Bank of America, will focus on the safe and effective use of machine learning.
"My goal is to provide a clear understanding of how machine learning is a valuable extension of classical statistical modeling capable of generating important insights," Kahn said. "However, to reach its full potential, machine learning must be used in accordance with principles from the entire statistical canon, including experimental design."
