How often does one need to collect data samples to monitor the performance of an application.

Demonstrating the difference between 'programming' and 'coding' by deriving an algorithm to sort a list of numbers.

Where can an entrepreneur go in Columbus to find technical resources and/or investors.

What additional tools and skills are needed to go from an HTML/CSS/JS prototype to a full-featured application.

How to refactor large methods into several smaller methods in a Rails Model.

What kinds of web site analytics are available for word press sites?

What are some good online resources for a single-founder software startup dealing with marketing and launching software products?

Come and add your voice and language to the conversation.

Please RSVP so that we can ensure that there are enough refreshments for everybody.

Wed, May 14, 2025, 6:30 PM EDTData & Analytics Wednesday - Impactful Communication
Rev1 Ventures, Columbus, OH
Want to Be a More Impactful Communicator? Find Your Shaded Habit!

Everyone has a habit or behavior that is not a barrier to being heard in a quiet, small room of peers. But the minute you change audiences, genres, goals or stages, the light shines brightly on that habit. This session will dig deeply into your role as a communicator, how to find your shaded habit and remove it as a barrier to hearing your ideas and insights. And our speakers have developed something of a specialization in helping analysts communicate, as they have provided speaker coaching for multiple years for both DataConnect and for posit:conf!

This will also be our second meetup this year that is tied to a book release! Ruth and Acacia are two of the co-authors of The Motivated Speaker: Six Principles to Unlock your Communication Potential, and they’ll stick around after the talk to sign copies of the book. We’ll have a few copies of the book to give away, but order and bring your own copy to ensure you’ve got one!

All CBUSDAW events are free thanks to our 2025 Sponsors: Clarivoy, Conductrics, What Box Consulting Group, and Piwik PRO.
