What we’re about
We are a friendly and welcoming user group dedicated to helping grow the data science community in the Seattle Area and beyond by bringing together data science and machine learning enthusiasts for workshops and talks. Our educational workshops and talks have one or several speakers who will talk about concepts, show code and/or give time for practice. We usually hold these events during evenings and on weekends, encouraging networking and mentorship throughout. We support our members championing the use of data science and machine learning responsibly through ethical AI practices. Whether you are new to data science/ML or an experienced pro, we welcome you to join for a workshop or talk!
