How it Works

There are 3 one day tutorials on Thursday 5th May and 3 x 90 minute breakout workshops on Friday 6th May, each limited to 12 participants. On the Friday there is also the main MeDaScIn talks during the day followed by the Datathon pitch night and award ceremony.

Note: the workshops and tutorials are essentially free as you are registering for the main talks but are choosing a breakout option.

• Choose a tutorial or workshop you wish to attend from the pictures below
• Click on the picture to register for that event
• It is first come first served – each is limited to 12 participants
• Registration is for access to the main talks, with the tutorial/workshop being complimentary
• If you want to do a tutorial and workshop(s) then you must purchase 2 (or more) tickets
• If you only want to attend the talks (or the tutorials and workshops are sold out) then register via the link at bottom. The cost is the same but there are early-bird and student prices for talk only registration
• Should the workshops or tutorials need to be cancelled due to any unforeseen reason, then as they are free events there is no refund policy as you still have access to the main talks

The event is organised by data scientists who love Melbourne and don’t want to have to move to Silicon Valley. It has evolved from the popularity of the Data Science Melbourne meetup group but we want anyone with a passion for both analytics and Melbourne to get involved.

We thank all the sponsors and supporters of DSM, especially the speakers and tutors who have given their time – it is really a team effort to make this event happen.

Sponsorship Opportunities
Making this event happen relies on generous DSM sponsors and particularly the nab who are providing the main venue, although we are still seeking specific event sponsorship to help keep the registration cost to a minimum.

The worldwide demand for analytic talent far outstrips supply. By supporting the events you will be helping promote and grow the Melbourne Data Science community and attract potential recruits.

If you would like to help out then contact Phil Brierley via the meetup group.
