Manchester R Meetup! June 2024.
Details
------ Welcome, Manchester R Users! ------
Welcome back to my favourite R Meetup! Summer's coming, and so are a load of awesome talks for you all...
As before, the event will be brought to you by Datacove. We are a Data and Analytics Consultancy Team based in Brighton, with experience in founding many well-attended events for R and Python.
We will be supported by the generous team at Better Placed, at Colony, Ayton Street, Manchester. Hosted by Abbie Brookes from Datacove.
------ Talk One ------
For our first talk, we are thrilled to be hosting Nicola Rennie PhD , Lecturer in Health Data Science at Lancaster University. Nicola began her career working as a Mathematical Consultant, before venturing into a Data Scientist and even becoming a Chapter Organiser for R-Ladies Lancaster.
She will be sharing her expertise on "Faster R Code with Rust". She further explains, "My R code is slow is a common complaint, especially when datasets get larger and more complex. This talk will demonstrate re-writing functions in Rust and showing a run-speed comparison when using Rust for vectorising operations in R."
------ Talk Two ------
TBC
------ General Information ------
Now, refreshments! Drinks and pizza will be served from 6pm. Talks will commence at 6:30pm/6:45pm and the event will conclude at 8:30pm. The conversation will continue after the event at a local pub TBC – obviously!
If you didn't already have a million reasons to come, there will be (free!) R Merchandise kindly sent by Posit themselves.
