Social data meetups in December and January

We believe that social data has enormous value and nearly limitless application. Because we’re always looking for ways to encourage creativity around social data, we’ve found that getting people together who are working on applying social data to a range of different challenges is a powerful way to unlock this creativity. In-person meetups can lead to amazing moments of serendipity when people connect with each other over a shared interest.

We’re co-sponsoring a series of social data meetups taking place in several cities around the world, and are excited about the great lineup we have during December and January. They will bring together people with a variety of expertise — software developers, academics, data scientists, brands, marketers, political junkies, non-profits — to talk about how they’re applying social data in new and transformative ways.

The meetups are free and open to all, so check out the details here and register quickly — they always fill up!
