Learning Events
The community's iconic meeting is the "Data Week". A 5-day event in which organizers and volunteers create conferences and events open to the general public. These are held in Washington and lots of people attend. The focus is on providing learning and networking spaces for new people to meet the community. On the other hand, there are also virtual events for which you need to register previously.
Networking Events
The "Data Week" is an opportunity for members to do networking. New people attend the conferences so it is a good chance to invite them to be part of the community. Also, members interact through the community's monthly meetups.
Content Library
The community has a gallery section. This is equipped with visual content, especially graphics and histograms. Even though the key topic is data and technology, you can find extra graphics based on geography, teaching, and health. Additionally, you can subscribe for free to the community's weekly newsletter to receive the latest content on data science.
