Data. The great frontier of our time. The world is encoded, meanings are extracted, customer desires are decoded through data.

Data. There's a lot of it out there. It's never been so easy to collect, store and analyse.

This group is a spinoff of the old Sydney Data Miners group but more focused. It's just about those conversations we used to have about how to use data mining in software.

And what better place to have this than Sydney, the biggest hub of data startups in the world according to the Startup Genome Project.
