ODSC APAC Virtual Conference
I can’t possibly explain how much I enjoyed the ODSC East Virtual conference. Many of the talks and workshops exceeded my expectations. Thank you very much and well done!
Batool A. | Research Fellow | Liverpool, UK
ODSC East 2020 is the 3rd ODSC event that I have attended. The staff and speakers did a tremendous job approaching the challenge of moving the conference online. The speakers were engaging, the staff attentive, and my team had a wonderful experience this week. Well done! I look forward to attending my next event.
Leslie Walcott | Data Scientist | Chicago
It’s just wonderful to attend this virtual event with so many people over here. Wonderful Initiative by ODSC. Brilliant Content.
Harshit P. | Software Engineering | Accenture
I just want to say a huge thanks to the organizers! I was skeptical about the remote format at first. However, it is an introvert’s dream! It is so much easier to ask questions in chat/slack than it is to raise my hand in a crowded lecture hall
Andras Z.| Lead Data Scientist | Brown University.
ODSC is the best community data science events on the planet. There are other events that cover special topics, or industries, etc., but ODSC is comprehensive and totally community-focused: it’s the conference to engage, to build, to develop, and to learn from the whole data science community.
