🎤 The Drop

Data Tech Talks

The Drop is our monthly gathering where data meets real talk. Expect lightning talks, weird charts, lessons learned the hard way, and ideas worth stealing.

Each session drops something real:

  • A new tool to try
  • A mental model to reframe your work
  • A perspective you didn't know you needed

Beginners and veterans welcome. No gatekeeping. No dense decks. Just insights, inspiration, and intelligent chaos.

🍻 Talk Nerdy to Me

Data Happy Hour

Talk Nerdy to Me brings it all together for battle stories, tool debates, and damn good conversations.

What happens here:

  • Battle stories from the analytics trenches
  • Show off your weirdest chart or proudest pipeline
  • Complain about tools (and secretly show off your favorite one)
  • Debate trends and dream up new ones
  • Find a mentor or become one

No slides. No pressure. Just drinks, data, and damn good conversations.
