Great session and interesting format. Loved seeing direct results from previous year. How to pitch in 4 minutes; love the summit, loved this session-simply great and exciting!
– ECS Attendee
Liked all presentations and the questions from the panelists. I really liked the idea of these sessions as it show us the capability of the GPUs beyond gaming. Liked the way the panel conducted the presentations and the questions.
Great presenters; Big data/data analytics doesn't have the sex appeal - but it is huge. Tremendous need in the area of fraud prevention. Look for GTC to build on this in 2015. ECS Presentations are the most focused at GTC!
