Topic: Open Mic Night ... Questions, Projects, and Special Interest Groups
The evening will have some similarities to Breakfast with Data Nerds and Open Mic Night ... along with some News of some Changes Coming to Data Nerds in the Months ahead.

If you have a Data Project you’re working on, especially if you’re looking for collaborators, Please Send Me a Note at [acreeg@gmail.com](mailto:acreeg@gmail.com). The Data Nerds community needs to hear from you!

I'll also take some time to ask for input, and perhaps put a few of you on the spot to ask about topics that I expect will be of interest to a great number of us. It will also give us the chance to hear from more voices and get to know our peers a bit better.

At the end of the evening we’ll have some time for you to follow up and connect with those who are interested in more project details, or to ask more about a topic that arose throughout the evening.

Speakers: Our Data Nerds Community Members

Join us for the discussion! We'll look forward to seeing you on August 6th!

Nashville Data Nerds is a Data Analytics/Science meetup that meets monthly to explore data topics and to provide connections, resources, and community for data professionals.

The format of the meetings is as follows:
• 5:00pm Doors open for Conversation, Networking, and Pizza
• 5:15pm Zoom opens for Introductions and Conversation
• 5:30pm Welcome, Introductions, and a few Announcements
• 5:45pm Presentation Topic and Discussion
• 6:20pm Open Questions/Discussion
• 6:30pm - 7pm Conversation, Catching up, Building Community

Beginning at 5:30pm, we'll take some time for Welcome and Introductions. Then we'll move into our main presentation/discussion for the evening. We'll have time for questions throughout and participation will be encouraged. Our speakers will appreciate the interaction!

After the discussion, we'll again have some time to stick around for conversation if you have interest ... to get to know each other better.
