About the PPDM Houston Data Expo
The PPDM Houston Leadership team is excited about the 2024 Houston Data Expo, being held again at the Norris Conference Center, April 23-24, 2024. "A New Data Ecosystem" was our theme in
2023. We believe this Ecosystem is still developing and maturing in our industry, so we are continuing that theme for the 2024,
"Data Ecosystem Expansion". The PPDM Association's recent transformation supports the maturity of this Data Ecosystem with data standards, industry collaborations, and professional development.
Come learn about new upcoming data initiatives, collaborations and hear from technology partners!
Our Expo offers a casual, supportive connection with like-minded data professionals who believe in managing data as a foundational strategic asset.
Who attends PPDM Events?
Keeping the energy data community together and strong is an essential part of the PPDM™ Association’s mandate. An integral element of this mandate is the PPDM™ Association’s annual global events, including our two-day Expo, traditional two-day Symposia, one-day Workshops and short Luncheons and virtual events. These events are specifically designed to facilitate collaboration, build community, promote knowledge sharing and promote energy data as a career destination. PPDM™ events are designed to be affordable for all members of the energy data community while covering event costs. Our events are an excellent opportunity for individuals in the energy data industry, from Data Analysts to CEOs, to find out what is new in the industry, share experiences and knowledge, and network with peers and colleagues. Our events are more than just updates to our data model, but an opportunity to be a part of the growing energy data community and keep up to date with the latest and greatest in industry.
