For the fifth year running, we are providing a regional opportunity to the data science community to discuss and learn from others how to make the most out of R and Python in your organisation and projects – from research to corporate to public sector. If you haven’t worked with open-source tools yet, get inspired by what can be done.

R Exchange aims to showcase how organisations are using R, Python and other open-source tools to visualise insights, automate reporting, scale up work flows to better connect data with decision-making and to align data insights with strategic goals. Open source tools are commonly used to complement proprietary products to tackle more complex problems to provide analysts and data scientist with the flexibility they need for their work. If you are not working with open-source tools yet, get inspired by how others use them and what can be done!

Whether you're taking first steps or already are an expert, our diverse programme caters for different levels of interest. Meet with fellow open-source enthusiasts to connect and learn about best practices and what is new in the open-source data science and analytics world.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us events@epi-interactive.com and keep up-to-date on the latest announcements via LinkedIn and our newsletter.
