Tampa Bay Data Science Group

Hello Tampa Bay Data Science Group – we are back and excited to meet in LESS THAN TWO WEEKS! Sincere appologies for the late notice but, well, do I even need to explain? We are extremely fortunate this month to host a presentation by two experts in data science career opportunites.

With rapid changes and uncertainties in today’s job market, our upcoming meetup is essential for those looking to understand current demands in data science roles. Join us to kick off the holiday season and learn how to navigate the dynamic landscape of data science careers!

Discover what skills are topping employer wish lists, learn about salary trends, and gain insider tips on crafting a resume that stands out.

Agenda:

• 6:30 PM - Please join us in the Alessi Kitchen (La Cucina) for food and beverages provided by TEKsystems. (So I won't even have to beg for donations this time!)

• 7:00 PM - Meet in the dining room for our featured presentation followed by discussion. The presentation will last for 45 minutes.
Afterwards - Feel free to reconvene to continue the discussion as a group in either the meeting room or kitchen area.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS AND SUPPORT.

It takes at least three things to keep a tech meetup going:

1. Great speakers
2. Great hosts, and
3. Great sponsors.

This date is available for all three!

We've been fortunate lately. While we obviously always need new speakers, it's clear that having several hosts for venues, and sponsors for refreshments, would help lighten the load on our regular contributors.

Message Mike T (de facto organizer) if you would like to present a data science related talk to our community. My personal favorites are talks presenting real life applications, whether professional or hobbist, but all data sciency (scienceish?) talks are welcome.

Further, if your place of work has space for 30 - 40 polite and respectful data scientists, let us know. I often refer to the Tampa Bay area as a "Doughnut Metropolis." Barring a big enough boat for us to assemble in the doughnut hole, locations scattered around the bay area would increase accessibility and alleviate gephyrophobia.

Finally, we want to keep these events free and open. One or two hundred bucks for food and drinks may not sound like much, but it adds up over time and we don't want to take any contributors for granted. So if you or a business or institution you know might be willing to pony up for one of our meetings, please get in touch. Of course, we can show our appreciation in various ways.

If you have any ideas or interest, send me a message now!

Respectfully,
Mike T.
