Upcoming meetups and events

[Wouter de Bie]

Hi all,

I thought it would be a good idea to keep a pinned topic to post upcoming meetups and events. Please things that you organize or you will be attending, so we might organize around that.

That said, a bunch of people from Spotify will attend Strata in NYC the end of this month.

Dear Big Data Euro,

I'm thinking that it would actually be useful (versus shameless self-promotion) if we would post the announces asap on this group. I'm seeing a lot of things that would be neat to attend - but too short on time to really prepare for (had I known earlier - I may have attendened the German conference instead of something else). Thoughts?

Warm Regards,

-Joseph.

http://www.meetup.com/hadoop-users-group-uk/events/146834502/?a=ea1_grp&rv=ea1

I will be talking about how to scale your big data operation from a development perspective. The panel discussion should also be good.

If you're in town for Strata anyway, it's definitely worth attending.

Hi all,

I'm Eileen, one of the editors of Dataconomy Media. We're organising an event at the end of August which I thought would be interest.

Dataconomy are organising "Big Data Berlin", Berlin's first big data industry event, on August 28th. We have three industry leaders and renowned speakers giving presentations: Doug Laney, VP at Gartner (recognised as the man who defined Big Data); Raffaela Rein, Founder and CEO at Career Foundry; and Adam Drake, Chief Data Scientist and Head of Engineering at zanox.

The event will be attended by around 250 people, ranging from data scientists, software developers, PhD students, BI & Database technology consultants and businesses with big data interests. It will be a great opportunity for anyone interested in data science to meet with like-minded professionals & enthusiasts, forge connections and spark interesting discussions. 

Registration and a full programme can be found here: http://www.meetup.com/Big-Data-Berlin/events/196782612/

I hope to see as many of you there as possible!
