Q: Are men welcome to attend R-Ladies events?
A: Yes, men are welcome at this event - however, our primary mission is to encourage more women and non-binary individuals to get involved in the R community. Please help us by spreading the word about R-Ladies, and by being respectful of the fact that this event is primarily for women/non-binary/female-identifying individuals.

Thank you to WeWork for hosting us and Microsoft Developer Advocates (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/advocates/index.html) and David Smith for sponsoring pizza for this event!
