"Meetups are neighbors getting together to learn something, do something, share something...":

Many thanks to EMC who is sponsoring pizza for us!

7:00 - 9:00:

Room 1: Project Area Various roundtables will have call-outs for a particular topic that appears popular such as R, Python, Healthcare, Machine Learning; such that people with interests in those areas can sit near one another. We have people experience in several of these areas who will be attending. There will be some self-paced tutorials to help. There are also small living rooms all about for folks to hang-out and work on projects; network, etc.

Rooms 2/3: Sessions/Tutorials/Discussions

Data Scienctist Careers / Mentorship - Jason Sroka

R and Tableau - Tanya Cashorali

R and Text Analytics - John V.

Based on the topics that folks put when RVSP'ing here are some session Ideas: Statistics, Healthcare Analytics, Quant. Finance, Machine Learning, Business Analytics, Big Data, Hadoop. We have a very diverse group of interest and expertise. I created a word cloud below (though Meetup image quality so-so), to show this.

Upon RSVP'ing please jot down what you would like to learn/do (learn by doing!), and what areas you feel comfortable in helping others.

Event Background:

For many years the programming Meetup groups, such as Python and PhP groups, have lead the way in this respect. The PhP group, which just celebrated 10 years on Meetup, has started another round of Percolate (group online training). The Python group in particular has held monthly "Project Nights" for a couple years.

At the last Python event the idea of an Analytics, Data Science, InfoVis Project Night was tossed around, and so here goes! Many thanks to Microsoft NERD for hosting! An alternative concept for this event is an unWorkshop (a spin-off of the unConference concept); i.e. if there is a topic you would like to teach a small group, then let me know as we have side rooms.
