What we’re about
The Data Driven Community is a global and inclusive group of individuals with an interest in data and data platforms. Our focus includes the collection, storage, management, processing, and visualization of data both in the cloud and on-premises.
Our community offers two main activities: a weekly meeting of the “Cloud Data Driven” User Group and an annual “Future Data Driven Summit” conference.
We are focusing on sharing knowledge, learning, meetings and discussions about a wide range of topics such as data and data platforms, artificial intelligence and machine learning, DevOps, data engineering and analytics and more.
Our members come from diverse backgrounds and possess a wide range of skills - from occasional DBAs to senior administrators and experienced developers to big data analysts.
You can find us on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Meetup, and Eventbrite. For more information, please visit our website at: https://datadrivencommunity.com/
