DATA CLUSTER MEETUP

JOIN US FOR A DATA MEETUP

March 13 - 5:30PM @ Elysium, 705 Red River 78701

Last year a twitter conversation among three data geeks accidentally turned into a 30+ person data meetup — with no planning, nowhere near enough chairs, and yet a total success. Clearly, the web's largest yearly convention needs a gathering of data geeks.

So here it is, bigger, better, and with free food. We're still keeping it simple, though: get a whole bunch of really smart data geeks together, set up group discussions and a rap-battle style engineering nerd fest, but leave the majority of time for people who admire each other's work to meet and exchange ideas. hashtag: #SxSWdata
