PyData Miami is a data science conference happening
January 9th-11th, 2019. The PyData conference series is organized by
NumFOCUS, with regional events happening across dozens of cities internationally. The conference is anchored in Python data packages such as
NumPy,
Pandas, and
scikit-learn but also includes approaches to data analysis and visualization in other high level numerical languages such as
R and
Julia.
We aim to be an accessible, community-driven event, with tutorials and talks for students, practitioners, and researchers.
