About Geotab Data Bootcamp
The digital transformation age has arrived. Are you making the most of your data to drive growth and innovation?
The Geotab Data Bootcamp will give you a unique experience where Geotab professionals will help you understand the kind of problems or opportunities that can be solved with big data and teach you how to do it. You will connect directly with Geotabbers and learn about real problems in fleet management and how Geotab can help with data, best practices, and solutions. You'll get experience working with Geotab big data, from initial problem to actionable solution, through presentations, hands-on or instructor-led training and discussions.
From defining a situation, extracting data, combining with other data sources, gaining insights, or building machine learning models, all alternatives will be covered. The emphasis of each session will be on using telematics data to address issues and opportunities associated with fleet productivity and optimization, safety, compliance, sustainability and expandability.
If you work with fleet and connected vehicle data, sign up for this special multi-day training event, including instructor-led and hands-on workshops.
Build the knowledge and skills of your team with training from experts in your field.

Choose or customize your training path
The Geotab Data Bootcamp is a single training stream, with four different acts on:
• Extracting data
• Combining data to get new insights
• Leveraging data with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)
• The future of data
These acts will cover different problems and opportunities, and the approaches and solutions unique to each. To balance the depth and breadth of content and allow for the best learning experience, some sessions will be for all participants and some will stream simultaneously allowing you to choose the best option for you.
You can choose the simultaneous sessions according to your role and skills. Geotab has prepared five recommended paths with groups of sessions to be attended during the three-day workshop, but the choice is yours. You can select the path to follow based on your role, previous experience and skills or build your own path based on your learning objectives.
