Patricia Florissi, Ph.D, Vice President, Global Chief Technology Officer for Sales and EMC Distinguished Engineer at the EMC Corporation, focuses on helping to define mid and long term technology strategy and strategic initiatives.

In this intriguing TEDx talk, she shares her perspectives regarding Big Data.

Big Data is enabling and accelerating discoveries in science, and transforming the way we do business, work, and live. But Big Data is not happening in an isolated manner and it is not the only major disruption occurring now.... And yet, very few of us can pin point which other forces exist and realize how highly inter-dependent they are and how advancements in one catapult advancements on the other, in a non-ending cycle...

The theme of TEDxSpringfield's inaugural event held on October 18, 2013, was "Driving Innovation Through Diversity and Inclusion". We are a group of passionate volunteers that believe Springfield and its surrounding areas are full of Ideas Worth Spreading. Springfield is the "City of Firsts" -- the first basketball game, the first motorcycle, the first "Springfield". This event focused on how to use our diversity to bring back the innovation.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
