Announcing the Web Data Extraction Summit 2020

Web data extraction has become one of the most important tools for businesses to grow and stay ahead of the competition. From developing better pricing strategies to identifying hidden risks and building better products, web data extraction provides the power to transform infinite web data into a structured format that can help you make profitable decisions.

However, as the number of websites continues to grow, data extraction has become increasingly complex. Constantly changing website structures, antibot practices and scaling requirements add to the difficulty.

To overcome the ever-increasing challenges, the web data extraction industry has gone through impressive innovations and transformations in recent years that enable extracting accurate data in an efficient manner. During this revolutionary time in the industry, we are delighted to announce that Zyte will be once again hosting the Web Data Extraction Summit this year on Tuesday, November 10th, 2020.

This year, however, things will be a little different. Given we are living in strange times, this year the Extract Summit is going to be a completely free-to-attend and virtual event making it accessible for data enthusiasts all over the world to network and learn from each other! All you need is a laptop or a phone to get instant access to lots of amazing talks and connect with hundreds of other data lovers like you.

Inspired by the great success of some of the talks during the Web Data Extraction Summit 2019 and feedback from attendees, we are planning a fantastic lineup of speakers this year. Sessions will include talks ranging from basic approaches to scrape to advanced level use of AI and machine learning in data extraction. Along with use cases on how companies from different industries use web extracted data and follow-up sessions on some interesting topics covered last year such as tackling antibots. Our Data Scientists and Product Engineers will also give you a sneak peek of some of the most cutting edge technologies in the web data extraction industry. 

The stellar line-up will share their expert knowledge on topics like Running a Business on Web Scraped Data,  How Venture Capital Firms use Web Data to find Billion-Dollar Companies, and How to Build Your Own Price Monitoring Tool.
