Data Science in the Wild

Calling all data scientists, ML engineers, and analytics folks ,this is the first session of a new community built on one idea, the best learning happens practitioner-to-practitioner in the midwest🙂

What to expect:
We'll kick off with quick intros (who you are, what you work on, what you're nerding out about lately), then open the floor for lightning shares 5–10 minutes,
totally informal, no slides needed.

Tell us about the model you shipped, the tool you're testing, the pipeline that fell over at 2am.

Then we wrap with open discussion and networking.

This session's theme: LLMs & AI tools in real data workflows. Using Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot in your day-to-day? Experimenting with MCP servers, RAG, or AI-assisted analytics?
Come share what's hype vs. what's actually useful.

Who should come: Anyone working with data science, models , ML engineering , MLOps in any industry retail, healthcare, finance, food distribution, logistics, tech. Junior or senior, all welcome.
Different domains, same problems, better solutions together.
No sales pitches. No gatekeeping. Just practitioners comparing notes.

RSVP and bring one thing you've learned recently 🙂 lets create a happy community
