This post was originally shared on Amy’s blog. With lots of help, I organized the inaugural SatRday LA conference at UCLA Alumni Center on April 6, 2019. I promised myself (and publicly on a Slack —> I guess this is really why I am posting now) to write a blogpost about my organizing experience. First of all, what I am about to talk about are just how we decided to organize a SatRday and you are free to organize SatRday in any way you like, as long as you don’t violate SatRday Org’s important requirements.
In April this year, the first SatRday Newcastle event was held. The talks, slides and programme are available online. In this post you will find: Things we learnt whilst planning the event. What we learnt from our feedback. Learning on the go How to find speakers We were lucky to get three excellent keynote speakers, which I think really helped pull in attendees. Sometimes, reaching out to big names can be a little daunting, so try and think of connections you have, things you have in common and use communities such as R-Ladies or a Slack channel to reach out.
TL;DR DataCamp will not be allowed to sponsor or affiliate with satRdays events The satRdays events were setup to be an inclusive R event brand that enables communities around the world an easy framework to develop and celebrate their local R community. Diversity and safety at our events are vital principles that everyone commits to and works hard to achieve. We’ve had a great track record but… One of our past sponsors for some of the local events has been DataCamp.
