Charlottesville Data Science is a community for data scientists, machine learning practitioners, and all professionals, students, researchers, and enthusiasts working with data in Charlottesville and Central Virginia. Charlottesville is a growing data and tech hub, with the University of Virginia, including the UVA School of Data Science, established companies like S&P Global, Elder Research, and GA-CCRi, and a dynamic ecosystem of homegrown startups. Let's connect these dots to share ideas, learn from each other, and grow the local technology community.

Our members include researchers and tech professionals with decades of experience, novices who have yet to write their first line of code, and everyone in between. If you're interested in learning more about cutting-edge work happening with data science, machine learning, AI, and related technologies in Charlottesville, you're in the right place, and you'll find a welcoming, supportive community of like-minded folks.

Meetup.com is the primary place we post our events. Have an idea for a future Charlottesville Data Science event? Fill out our Call for Proposals form and a member of our organizing team will get back to you!

Charlottesville Data Science is also a node in the larger PyData network. PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.
