WARNING -> Sign up on Eventbrite here -> https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/data-horror-stories-tickets-432525022987
In line with tradition we're proud to present Data Horror Stories, with Her+Data MCR, Open Data Manchester, Python NW and R-Ladies Manchester.
Do you have a tale of bad stats, strange correlations, malicious intent or plain stupidity? Join us and share your Data Horror Stories!
Whether it’s the wrong house being demolished because of bad Google Maps data, drivers incorrectly having licences revoked by the DVLA, or a woman being mistaken for a car, Data Horror Stories are everywhere.
Around Halloween each year, a number of us come together to share eerie experiences, scary stories and life lessons we’ve got while working with data.
There are a number of five- to 10-minute speaker slots available now – so if you have something you’d like to share, drop an email to sam[at]opendatamanchester.org.uk.
Perhaps you have a tale you want to tell but don’t feel comfortable sharing it yourself? Then submit your own story anonymously and we might read it out during the event.
There’ll also be some quick-fire slots available on the night too - just let us know when you arrive!
Before you attend please a look at Open Data Manchester's code of conduct and accessbility statement.
If you have any questions, please email sam[@]opendatamanchester[.]org[.]uk.
