FAQ

Am I able to present at the Data Science Festival Career Day?

The Data Science Festival is made possible by people who give up their time to share their knowledge. If you have your own personal experiences or have some tips and tricks to share that will help early careers, career returners or career switchers, we want to hear from you! We welcome every background, level and sector. The DSF is a safe space where every idea and every person is encouraged to come as they are and present to our growing community. To look at some previous talks from last year’s DSF Career Day to get some inspiration, you can click here.

My favourite thing about Data Science Festival is the diversity and equality and equity we have in the community. Its actually one of the only tech events I’ve been to where there is a queue for the women’s bathroom and that just really shows how true the diversity that we have here at the Data Science Festival is.

Lisa Carpenter Lead data science instructor

The talks are really well organised, theres something for everyone whether you’re a new data person starting out in their career, an candidate with experience or you’re a people manager. The talks really cater for everyone, and make it super relevant and interesting.

Yu-Lan Scholliers Head of Product

I think there is a great vibe in terms of a community vibe, a community feeling. All the tech events we have been to have been quite commercial feeling so I think that community feeling is different from what I see in other tech events.

Raj Mukherjee Data Analytics and AI Director

We’re always on the look out for great talent in data, theres a real diverse mix of talent here and its great for us to meet new people and interact.
