Speakers and attendees included data, product and engineering talent from Cloudera, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, One Kings Lane, Pandora, Redfin, Rich Relevance and Zynga.
At the meetings, attendees reviewed data from published literature on human anthrax case reports, human and animal clinical trials, anthrax prevention and treatment, and unpublished antitoxin efficacy and safety data.

To capture the diversity of FT attendees, we collected demographic data from attendees before they attended the workshop.
This exception has indeed been responsible for much of our attendee-contributed event data among an early-adopter community of technology professionals.
With these sensors in place, gym attendees can have data from all of their workouts — including strength and cardio training — saved to their phones and have a virtual gym trainer provide encouragement and progress updates through voice notifications throughout a workout.
