A Map for the Strata Conference: Who Goes to a Data Conference About Data?

The Guardian staff is here for the Strata conference. For the event, Editor Simon Rogers analyzed the data from the more than 2,000 developers attending to see where they came from, what they want to talk about and how much data they process.

Here’s what he found:

  • Developers traveled an average of 2,346 miles to attend the conference.
  • The total company air miles: 2,174,144
  • About 83% of attendees are male. Ugh.
  • About 33% of the attendees tores an average of one terabyte of data per day.

Rogers provides an insight into the developer community but more so the importance of the Strata Conference. It’s the most important data conference of the year. It also shows that you should not get too cynical about these kinds of graphics. Customers need to learn this stuff so the more examples the better in showing what you can do with open data.

Below is an image of the graphic. You can see it yourself on the blog post Rogers wrote.
