Meetups are an integral part of our Data Science Society knowledge sharing pillars.

They are regular events that usually happen once in a month and it happens as a physical meeting locally with a digital presence (through streaming/recording). The MeetUps have up to 2 speakers with expertise and knowledge on different topics aligned with Data Science. The presentations mainly happen on the premise, but there is a possibility to be done online as well.

Before the Meetup

• We use the Data Chat and the email for communication and for arranging suitable date and topics
• Tell us on which dates you are free (usually, we do our meetups on Tuesdays)
• Give us your preferred topic to talk for, including a brief, a personal photo, and a short biography as soon as possible

• Be aware that we are going to stream &/or record the talk for our audience
• The opening of the event is done by the Data Science Society for 5 min
• The presentations must be in English because most of our audience is international
• Your screen will be shared via HDMI to the wall for the people in the room. ( please inform us in advance if you don’t have an HDMI port) *
• We use microphones during the presentations, you will be given one as well.
