Open Tech Calendar

Sheffield Data Science Forum - 12 June - with Tracey Johnson, Director of the Digital Media Centre.

The Data Science Forum aims to provide a catalyst for networking and the sharing of knowledge between industry/business practitioners, academics and students on topics related to Data Science. The Forum is open to all and aims to create a supportive community for those working in Data Science and Analytics to discuss and find solutions to problems and issues in an informal and friendly environment. It also provides the opportunity for those to network with other practitioners.

The Forum is being organised by the University of Sheffield and Peak Indicators for data professionals located within the city of Sheffield and surrounding areas. Members can also network and seek advice through supporting online tools, such as LinkedIn and Twitter. Refreshments will be provided and there is no registration fee for joining the network and attending the events.
