***\-\-\-\-\-\- Welcome\, Manchester R Users\! \-\-\-\-\-\-***
Welcome!

As before, the event will be brought to you by **Datacove**. We are a Data and Analytics Consultancy Team based in Brighton, working across Customer Analytics, Shiny and Reporting, Marketing Analytics and Process Automation.

We will be supported by the generous team at **Better Placed**, at Colony, Ayton Street, Manchester. Hosted by **Abbie Brookes** and **Jeremy Horne** from **Datacove**.

***\-\-\-\-\-\- Talks \-\-\-\-\-\-***

Njoki Njuki, Data Analyst at University of Oxford, will be bringing us a talk on "R for Play: When Data Meets Creativity". We often think of R as a serious tool for data wrangling and analysis, but it can also be a playground for creativity. In this talk, I’ll share some of my own pet projects where R has sneaked into everyday life: from using tidytuesday to learn new tricks, to generating a personalised menu while moving to a new city, to designing pride flags for my home, even to building quick utilities I can run on my phone.

More information on talks coming soon. Please contact admin@datacove.co.uk if you'd like to speak.

***\-\-\-\-\-\- 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.

Please feel free to register guests and spread the word. We look forward to seeing you all again!
