PyDataMCR - July Meetup

PyDataMCR is a strictly professional event, as such professional behaviour is expected.

We welcome everyone with an interest in all things data, from beginners to seasoned pros, whether you work in journalism, eCommerce, physics, or anything in between. We're big fans of open source. Python, R, and Julia are staples, but Java and JavaScript are welcome too

PyDataMCR is a chapter of PyData, an educational program of NumFOCUS and thus abides by the NumFOCUS Code of Conduct https://pydata.org/code-of-conduct.html. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with its contents.
