We'll have the usual meet-up staples: pizza and beer.
In future months we will alternate between speaker-events, and non-speaker ones. We’re going to be building a community around:
◾Data science, machine learning and AI,
◾open data
◾business intelligence
◾research and practical applications
◾Making a social impact with data
◾Big data, and
◾Specialist data fields – medicine, oil and gas, ecology etc
We’ve already committed as a group to help make Open Data in Aberdeen a reality, and to demonstrate not only how to do it, but also how to use it to make a difference.
You can follow us on Twitter (twitter.com ) for more details – but we’ll soon sort out a web presence and an open Slack channel.

This is a group for anyone interested in Data Science, Big Data, Analytics and Technology trends. We started this group to build a community to discuss general insights into the market and share personal experiences of working and operating in this area. We hope to cover skills shortages, technological advancements and organisational implications in Data Science and Technology during our series of meetups. All skill levels are welcome.
