What we’re about

We are moving to Lu.ma as our event management platform, please subscribe to the calendar here: lu.ma/datadrinks.ca

Welcome to Data Drinks, 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:

  • 🤝 Human First: We prioritize genuine relationships over transactions. While business and partnerships may emerge naturally, our focus is on respectful, people-centered interactions—not sales pitches.
  • 🙂 Embracing Respect and Positivity: We foster a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing their thoughts, learning from each other, and meeting new people.
  • 🌱 Building an Authentic and Supportive Community: We seek to cultivate a membership who engage sincerely, share experiences and insights openly, and contribute positively to collective learning and growth.
