NYC Python (@nycpython (http://twitter.com/nycpython)) and Open Data Science Conference ( http://opendatascicon.com ) are proud to present a night of talks on Thursday, March 12th.

Have you ever wondered how data science is used in real life, beyond all the scikit-learn and NumPy tutorials? Join us for an evening of talks on how data scientists use their skills on the job!

Our speakers include:

Yael Elmatad, Python’s role in the Big Data pipeline: uses and limitations

Anthony Sypniewski, Dynamic Pricing at Rent the Runway

Hillary Green-Lerman, The Science of Doubt: Creating Good Controls for Data Science Experiments

Doors open at 6:30 and the talks will begin at 7:00. There will be prizes, including O'Reilly tech books and conference tickets, for first time speakers who volunteer to give lightening talks!
