"For many years, the summit has been our main event to bring the KNIME community together," said Michael Berthold, co-founder and CEO of KNIME. "We are doing our best to reflect that spirit through our online event, trying to put selected presentations online and allowing for at least some direct interaction with the core KNIME team through dedicated Q&A sessions. On a positive note, by streaming the summit, people can participate from anywhere, and we look forward to connecting all those home offices across the world."

The online summit offers an opportunity for IT planners, data team managers and data scientists working remotely to take a day and learn how open-source KNIME Analytics Platform easily allows them to create visual data science workflows that can solve everyday problems.
