What weβre about
Welcome to the Data Practitioner Drinks (DPD) Group, where data scientists, machine learning professionals, data analytics specialists, and AI knowledge workers can gather to share their knowledge and passion for the field. We are also open to those "data and AI curious" as well.
Our gatherings will be focused on fostering meaningful discussions and promoting genuine connections. We uphold a strict non-promotional and non-commercial policy to create an environment dedicated to open thought, networking, socializing, and learning grounded in authenticity. We warmly welcome individuals from all walks of life, embracing diversity and recognizing the value each member brings to the table.
Our core principles are as follows:
- π« No Commercial or Promotional Intentions: Value open thought, connection, and meaningful discussions. While talking about what you do is to be expected at our events, please - no sales pitches.
- π€ Embracing Respect and Positivity: Create an environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing their thoughts, learning from each other, and meeting new people.
- π± Building an Authentic and Supportive Community: Foster genuine connections and authentic meaningful interactions. Cultivate a group of members who engage sincerely, share experiences and insights openly, and contribute positively to collective learning and growth.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about the group or any of our events, please feel free to message me directly.
