Advances in technology now allow businesses to constantly collect different types of data. But how does one know what to include when analyzing this data? Businesses struggle to understand how to separate what's important from the noise, especially since decisions made based on the large data pools can potentially make or break a company. How should businesses filter through this information overload?

Please join David Goldberg, CEO of SurveyMonkey, on Sunday, March 10 at 3:30pm as he discusses what the "right" kind of data companies should be paying attention to when making that next big decision.

Dave has been a successful entrepreneur, technology and music industry executive and investor. He has run and successfully grown several online consumer businesses including LAUNCH Media Inc., in 1994 and Yahoo! in 2001.
