Brighton R | Meetup | Feb 2025

------ Welcome, Brighton R Users! ------
Welcome back! We can't wait to start the year with some great R talks :)

As before, the event will be brought to you by Datacove. We are a Data and Analytics Consultancy Team based in Brighton, working across Customer Analytics, Shiny and Reporting, Marketing Analytics and Process Automation.

As always, we are supported by Silicon Brighton. Hosted by Jeremy Horne and Sophie Desouza from Datacove.

------ Talk One ------
Our first talk comes from John Gibbons, the founder of Data Simplicity who will tell us "How to find PEACE in your Data". The PEACE model, used in investigative interviews, is just as powerful in business strategy and data analysis — helping uncover critical insights, challenge assumptions, and make informed decisions.

------ Talk Two ------
For our second talk, we are delighted to welcome Alex Glaser, Data Scientist at AIGTECH. Alex will be sharing a talk with us on "Covid and Data Science". Ah yes, that illness we are all still trying to forget... He goes on to tell us more, "We have all lived with COVID and lockdown over the last few years and, no doubt, had our own opinions about the rights and wrongs about the decisions taken by the Government. This talk won’t tell you the reasons why certain decisions were made, but I will go over some of my experiences in the Infectious Disease Modelling team in the UK Health Security Agency.

------ General Information ------
Now, refreshments! Drinks and nibbles will be served from 6pm. Talks will commence at 6:30pm/6:45pm and the event will conclude at 8:30pm.

The conversation will continue after the event at The Joker Pub (conveniently across the road!) – obviously!

We look forward to seeing you all again!
