Summit Sponsors 2013 DataFest

Summit is sponsoring the 2013 DataFest, taking place April 19th – 21st at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). DataFest is a yearly competitive event in which teams of undergraduate students analyze large and complex datasets and summarize their findings. Teams are capped at five members each and the competition lasts for only 48 hours. Judges select the winning team by considering which group determined and communicated the greatest insight into the data.

Summit is proud to sponsor DataFest, which promotes the study of economics while engaging students in the practical application of econometric techniques. Check back in a few weeks to see our staff’s first-hand impressions of the competition!
