Hi All,

We’re delighted to announce our next Data Science Hackday on Saturday 15th April 10 AM - 5 PM which will be taking place at the offices of [loveholidays](https://www.loveholidays.com/) in Hammersmith (3 Shortlands, W6 8DA).

Big thanks to everyone at [loveholidays](https://www.loveholidays.com/) for hosting us and providing that all important pizza for lunch!

As always, this will be an attendee-driven day of hands-on coding on any data science topic you’re interested in so please remember to bring your laptop (having a working Python or R installation ready to go is a good start!) and come ready with ideas for topics to work on.

Once again we'll be hosted by [loveholidays](https://www.loveholidays.com/), an online travel agency, but the choice of projects is entirely up to you. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out these Kaggle competitions at
