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.

BOO-LEAN Hallowe'en Pub Night 🎃👻
The Pilot, 22 Cumberland St, Toronto, ON, CANote: we are moving to Lu.ma as our event management platform of record - please RSVP at https://luma.com/nzeaa2rv and subscribe to our calendar at lu.ma/datadrinks.ca
It’s spooky season!🎃 We’re summoning the data ghouls, API wizards, and AI monsters for a fang-tastic night of networking, brews, and tech talk in co-operation with the APIs + IPAs Group! If you're deep into data or just "data-curious", come get in the (ghostly) spirit and meet others from Toronto's data & AI scene. 👻🍺
This is a casual, costume-optional pub night with no slides, no speakers, just good conversations and great people in a relaxed atmosphere and venue.
💡 New to the crew? Here’s what we’re all about:
- 🚫 No Sales Pitches or Scary Spam – We’re here to connect, not convert. Leave your business cards in the crypt.
- 🤝 Respectful, Inclusive Vibes Only – All are welcome. Come as you are (or as your alter ego in costume).
- 🌱 Community Over Competition – Share ideas, learn something new, and support each other’s data journeys.
A huge spooky thanks to our amazing sponsor, Unified.to for helping to make this event happen and bring together the Toronto data and dev communities for festive fun! Check them out at http://www.unified.to/
🧛♂️ Come thirsty (for knowledge and beer), bring your best Hallowe’en puns, and help support our venue by grabbing a drink or a bite.
