Eyecademy will talk about their Predictive analytics tool ‘seeHR’ which applies Data science techniques to HR data. In particular they will discuss the problem that they were trying to solve, the technology behind it , why they chose to use this tech stack, how they integrated the data science calculations into the product and what data science they used to produce the results.

The purpose of this group is to gain hands-on experience working with data.

We want a no-pressure, open, non-judgmental space for beginners and those early in their data careers to meet and work on our various data projects. We want to learn from and help each other.

We use different tools for our projects, including R, Python, Neo4j, D3, etc.

Attend this free and practical event organised by the ALLIANCE, SCVO, CCPS and VHS to find out about next steps for implementing Scotland’s Digital Health and Care Strategy and to discuss what actions your organisation (and the third sector could collectively) take to ensure successful delivery.

Health Care in the UK is facing many issues such as the lack of adoption of data gather for predictive analytics in health and social care. This is exacerbated by the increased demands of an ageing population. In the future, systems need to be created in a way that are more patient-centric, and which allow for citizens to be cared for in a holistic way.

This conference presents some of the research and best practice within next generation health care infrastructures for large-scale data integration across domains and stakeholders, and how they could bring benefits to all involved. A key focus is on the capture and analysis of data across health and social care.

We are very excited to our ODSC Europe next month! As we get closer to the conference, we want to invite you to participate in ODSC Europe's Online Warm-Up.

We will features 4 speaker from our upcoming ODSC Europe conference in London each of which will present a 30 minute session, including:

Jeffrey Yau, PhD - Multivariate time series forecasting using statistical and machine learning models
Muzahid Hussain - Debugging and visualizing Tensorflow programs with images
Dr. Jan Freyberg - Interactive data visualisation in python
Dr. Colin Gillespie - Getting to grips with the Tidyverse ®

I'm delighted to announce the next Women in Technology Meetup in Edinburgh! After a short sabbatical, we are excited to 'break back into technology' with our next session, hearing from successful women telling us their stories covering different routes into tech.

It promises to be an exciting evening with opportunities to connect with likeminded individuals and be inspired!

SQLGLA is a free Data Platform community event returning to Scotland on Friday 14th September 2018. Founded in 2017, their aim is to grow the Data Platform community in Scotland & the UK as a whole by bringing attendees together with free, high quality training from experienced speakers supported by generous sponsors.

Join us as we dig deep into the history of Aberdeen!

In 2006-2007 an excavation took place of St Nicholas Kirk. It uncovered over a thousand sets of human remains, a rich collection of artefacts, and structural parts of the building going back over a thousand years.

Much of the post-excavation analysis and research is still ongoing.

Using photographs, paper records, some physical artefacts, and a 3D point-cloud data of a scan of the interior of the church, the aim of this weekend is to

• create digital artefacts, and create prototypes to interact with, and visualise, the finds,
• experiment with technologies such as 3D modelling and visualisation of remains, recovered articles and the building itself,
• assist public understanding, deliver educational benefits and increase awareness of the archaeology and the Mither Kirk project.

Whatever your skills or background you can contribute to this exciting project.

The goal of SIW18 is to support Scottish based companies scale across the UK and Internationally, through the delivery of peer lead events.

If you are a business leader, director, entrepreneur, or investor involved with a scaling or established business, then SIW18 is for you.

At SIW18 you will hear from those who have built global businesses and those in the process of taking their business international. You will learn what works and what to avoid.

You will also have the opportunity to discuss with international experts, in private 1-on-1 sessions, how to address your particular challenges.

High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Data Analytics technologies give a competitive advantage to companies across the world. How can Scottish engineering and manufacturing industries benefit?

EPCC is perfectly positioned to provide these novel technologies to Scottish industry. We believe that the expertise and support already available in Scotland can create considerable advantage for the country’s engineering and manufacturing sectors.

In partnership with CeeD, we will host a half-day event to explain how companies can exploit the potential of new technologies and take advantage of the assistance available in Scotland from relevant partners and organisations.

Last March, a snow storm in New York meant that one of our Data Summit keynote speakers, Cathy O'Neil, couldn't make it across the Atlantic as all flights were cancelled. We said at the event that we would get her to come to Scotland later in the year, and the day has come. Cathy will be in Edinburgh on 20 September to help us launch DataFest19, and you are invited to join the event. We will soon announce a couple more speakers who will be joining the discussion.

We look forward to seeing you at the DataFest19 launch, and share some exciting news with you there!

This year’s keynote speaker is Hugo Fiennes, CEO of Electric Imp. Hugo's stellar career includes time at Apple where he was the hardware lead for the first four generations of the iconic iPhone. He also helped build the Nest thermostat. It was during his time at Nest that Hugo realised connected devices were going to change the world for the better, but only if they were secure, maintainable, and flexible, and so Electric Imp was born.
