Continuous learning is a key piece of Schireson's DNA. Over the past 15 years, we’ve witnessed the evolution of data science from small academic labs to big business solutions in marketing and media, and we're thrilled to be part of the community conversation about what’s next,” said Jacob Harris, Partner, Schireson Associates. Viacom has also joined the series as a partner for the next Data Science Salon NY, which will be hosted at their headquarters in Times Square. “We are excited to partner with the Data Science Salon in hosting the leading data strategists, who are at the forefront in reimagining the media and entertainment industry for the future.
