BPDM 2013 - 2013 Broadening Participation in Data Mining program (BPDM)

Organization is well under way for the 2013 Broadening Participation in Data Mining program (BPDM). This year many changes are taking place. Most notably, 2013 will begin our new collaboration with the ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD), instead of SDM. This year's KDD conference will be hosted in August in Chicago, IL and our program will span two days. You can find more information at http://dataminingshop.com/.
Another notable change will be our presence and use of social media to support the program. So we are in search of our first Social Media Coordinator. This individual will have the chance to greatly shape pre, post, and in-time social media interaction for the program. Responsibilities are listed below. The coordinator's program and conference expenses will also be covered. If you're interested in becoming our Social Media Coordinator we ask you to apply by Mar. 1 to BPDMprogram-AT-gmail.com, including the requested application material.
