RStudio Meetup: Championing Analytic Infrastructure

RStudio Meetup: Championing Analytic Infrastructure
Presented by Kelly O'Briant

Abstract:
Let’s admit it. Getting to use the tools you want sometimes needs a little convincing.

We’ve had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people from the community. People that: organize meetups in their own communities, spend time after-hours teaching their co-workers, solve business problems at work with Shiny, write blog posts to help others, and so much more..

People are doing amazing things with data science, yet so many are still in a position where they are not able to make the case for it at their own organizations.

Join Kelly O’Briant to learn how you can start to navigate the internal process and advocate for great analytic infrastructure as a data scientist.

During this meetup, we will go through resources gathered from the community on our new site: rstudio.com/champion,  learn more from Kelly’s own experience advocating for data science, and have an open discussion with others who are going through the same.

Whether you’re getting pushback about using open-source, being told to use a BI tool instead, or just unable to find the other data scientists at your company - we want to help make this process less frustrating. Come hang out and chat with us! 

*Please note, the presentation portion of this meetup will be recorded, but the open discussion following the talk will not.
