[ecrea] Social Media Analysis Boston University

With apologies for the cross-posting, after selling out our two initial 
events,​ we are hosting a workshop at Boston University this October 20 
- 22, 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, NodeXL, the 
Boston University Twitter Collection and Analysis Toolkit (BU-TCAT), 
DiscoverText and Gephi.

Please let me know any questions and share widely with colleagues, 
students, or professionals that might be interested to attend.​ For more 
details, please visit

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 ForSight data 
analysis platform from Crimson Hexagon as well as enterprise access to 
DiscoverText.

• 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 currently discounted 15% with
