What we’re about
We’re a friendly group of local R professionals, meeting regularly to share stories and what inspires us - working in the R environment.
We do this all through a range of informal talks, with the conversation continuing in the bar afterwards. We are open to all skill levels whether you are just curious, an early learner or advanced user.
Whether you use R for data analysis in Health, Academia or Industry we'd love to have you join our community in the Brighton or Sussex area.
Over time, we hope to expand the meetup to include workshops and how to’s within the R environment – so watch this space. Indeed, if you have a 'stoRy' you want to share with the group, please get in touch as we’re always looking for more speakers.
