Give a talk

Have a data project, tool, or story to share? We welcome speakers of all experience levels. 20 slides, 20 seconds each. No questions, no pressure.

Sponsor

Organisations can support the community by sponsoring drinks or the event itself. Get in touch to discuss how we can recognise your contribution.

Help organise

Interested in joining the organising team? We'd love to have you. It is light-touch, mainly helping with logistics and outreach.
