April R-Ladies Community Meetup

Join us for our April R-Ladies Community Meetup, where we’ll get to know one another and learn new ways to grow our skills as R users and data scientists/analysts.

We will follow community guidance against in-person gatherings and have this event online using videoconferencing software.

If you'd like to attend, please click the link below and fill out the form. You will receive an invitation to the videoconferencing session along with an invitation to join the Slack community. Slack is a messaging platform where we will share open job opportunities, free or low-cost online training materials, and R-Ladies group projects that will help you practice your R programming skills and develop a portfolio that could be used to showcase your skills to hiring managers.
