Charlottesville Data Science Call for Proposals
Have an idea for a future Charlottesville Data Science meetup event? The Charlottesville Data Science Call for Proposals is now open!
Whether this is your first event proposal or your fiftieth, Charlottesville Data Science is looking for speakers and event facilitators from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels. First-time speakers are especially encouraged to submit proposals! Presenting at Charlottesville Data Science is a great way to hone your skills, demonstrate your expertise, make valuable connections, and advance your career.
We're interested in hearing all sorts of event proposals related to data science, machine learning, AI, and similar fields, but a few types of events tend to work particularly well for our group:
Applied talks about how you brought data science tools and techniques to bear on a particular problem
Explainers and tutorials demonstrating how to use particular tools, software libraries, modeling methodologies, datasets, and so on
Conversations about the broader organizational and societal context in which data science work happens: the data science job market, managing data science projects in an organizational setting, ethics, responsibility, and fairness in data science, security, regulatory concerns, and so on
We have a preference for talks and events that feature open-source tools and techniques. Talks that are primarily sales pitches for commercial products and services will not be accepted.
If you need more ideas and inspiration about topics that might be a good fit for Charlottesville Data Science, try taking a look at events from recent data science and tech conferences, like PyData, PyCon, and the Open Data Science Conference.
We can’t wait to see what the community comes up with!
