[Jacob Groshek]

After selling out our inaugural event,
​ we are
hosting a workshop at Boston University this May 31 - June 2, 2017 on
social media analysis called "Making Social Media Matter: How to Analyze,
Visualize & Interpret Social Networks in 3 Days."

In addition to covering the theoretical bases of working with and modeling
big data, the training in this workshop will include access and use of
leading data platforms, namely Crimson Hexagon, the Boston University
Twitter Collection and Analysis Toolkit (BU-TCAT), and Gephi.

Please let me know any questions and share widely with colleagues,
students, or professionals that might be interested to attend.

In summary, the tools demonstrated in this workshop for network analysis,
geolocation, and machine learning are at the forefront of social media
research and will equip attendees — even those with no computational
training — with expert understanding of how to collect, analyze, visualize,
and interpret social media data for internal and public use.

Media researchers, students, and anyone wanting to make sense of social
media will benefit from attending this workshop. All participants that
successfully complete this workshop will:

• Earn a Certificate in Social Media Analysis: Principals and Practices for
Big Data from Boston University.

• Have free access for 3 weeks to the industry-leading the ForSight data
analysis platform from Crimson Hexagon.

• Receive training in exclusive data analysis tools that can collect,
analyze and visualize millions of units of social media content.

• Go beyond simple analytic dashboards and dive deep into data to take
their analytic skills to the next level.

Again, please let me know any questions and share widely with colleagues,
students, or professionals that might be interested to attend.

Space is limited, and registration is open at https://www.bu.edu/com/soci
