STL DataViz Planning Session

FREE event. YOU DON"T NEED TO JOIN Meetup+! Being a member of Meetup is free, but the Meetup organization, seeking additional revenues, has introduced Meetup+, an optional paid membership tier as a way to have members also pay a subscription fee for additional features.

We want to hear from you!!!

"Decisions are made by those who show up."

The St. Louis DataViz Meetup has been quiet for a while now. The original Organizer was going to stop paying the Meetup dues, and I stepped in to save the group from being shut down. Most of the DataViz Meetups groups around the country have been struggling since the pandemic, but I’d like to get things started again.

I’d like to get back into holding events (in-person and online). This Planning Session will be an online Zoom meeting, and everyone is invited to attend and share their opinion.

• Do you prefer in-person or online events? Or both?
• What types of events do you want to see?
• Are you interested in helping out with events?
• Can you recommend any locations we could use for local in-person events?
• Any speaker suggestions for local St. Louis events?

If you won’t be able to attend, please complete this Google Forms survey so you can still add your thoughts: https://forms.gle/zG7a6SccCCHaY1x1A
