Teradata Universe, the essential data and analytics conference, is right around the corner - October 20-24, 2019 to be exact! The event brings together customers, business leaders, experts, and innovators to explore the possibilities, opportunities and challenges of next-gen analytics. This year, our flagship conference will be held in the Mile High City -- Denver, CO!
Denver is a world-class city located just east of the Rocky Mountains. We hope you join us for Teradata Universe this year and take advantage of the fun activities Denver has to offer.
1. Explore the Denver Art Scene
Denver’s streets have become more colorful thanks to new works by street artists in the
River North Art District (RiNo) and the Arts District on Santa Fe.
RiNo began as an industrial neighborhood and the residents of Denver are now revitalizing the historic warehouses and factories, turning the buildings into restaurants and galleries. The Art District on Santa Fe is one of Colorado's designated Creative Districts. With more than 30 galleries, the neighborhood boasts the largest concentration of art galleries in Colorado. Meanwhile, the art in both districts extends beyond the gallery walls--murals decorate alleys and buildings around almost every corner.
