Summer Ignite Talks

Hooray! We're up to 200 members!

To celebrate such a data-landmark, and... the approaching summer, I thought we should all get together and talk about our latest cool data-related project.

Format

1 hour of Ignite talks (5 minutes, 20 slides, advancing automatically every 15 seconds, with 1 minute Q/A). It can be about anything-data. Examples: "Deep learning on a GPU", "Survival analysis", "Scale up Spark to 100 nodes", "Is pasta bad for you (with pie charts)?". Make it fun, and make the audience want to know more about it!
