Digital Data Science Meet-Up (http://www.meetup.com/Digital-Analytics/events/226891431/)

on

Thursday, March 17th, 2016.

In this second edition, we are keen to explore the hard-core aspects of data science within the online and arena.

Why do we organize a Digital Data Science Meet-Up?

This meet-up is an initiative of Eduardo Barbaro, currently a data scientist at Mobiquity and Valentina Djoemai, Senior Consultant Digital Analytics at NEWPEOPLE. We all know that data science is leaving its footprint within the digital environment in many companies. However, there’s much discussion and debate about the impact it has in the business, as well as the implementation and usage of its outcomes. Therefore, we bring together specialists on all levels to discuss data science within the digital arena in its broadest sense. For this second edition we are proud to present the following line-up:
