The best data festival for all data enthusiasts in London, powered by The DataFoundry movement
From business people trying to change their company culture to be more democratized, self organized and driven by data; data analysts to data hackers and data scientists. During our events we bring together novices in the data world to the most senior data hackers and professors.
Check out our event from December for 500 people: bit.ly/DataFestakYouTube
The DataFestival.London is primary for three groups. For business users we run Friday event which will be filled with real people stories and learnings about how they've transformed their business thanks to data and it's democratization. From JustEat or large bank to local retail shop which has increased it's offline basket by 30% in one year! Hear, interact & learn.
Data geeks can spend from Friday night to Sunday afternoon hacking interesting data sets with fellow minded people and great tech to try for free at hackathon. Take advantage of the fact that very people who develop the tech, or own the data sets, will be present on site and you can get real help right away. Are you a girl and want to start with data ? Come to our Saturday hands on workshop!
This is NOT a competition event!!! This is learning and bonding event. We intend to have great weekend, meets lots of new people and have tons of fun.
