Come to the first meetup of our new Data Driven series! In this series, we will explore the value and techniques of using data to drive decision-making in organisations big and small.

Each event in the series will aim to have two talks – a fairly technical one, and a more business-oriented one. Technical talks will focus on tools and techniques for becoming more data-driven. This will range from Data Science techniques to Data Modelling, Business Intelligence and Data Engineering.

Business talks will offer insights and practical use cases from people who have used data to enable their organisations to be more efficient or discover and act on new opportunities.
We will invite speakers from a different industry each time and help create a healthy amount of cross-pollination.
