Make your community and experience personal by building them locally. Unify your local data-driven community and create networks within your tangible reach. Following a local path is the quickest way to make personal connections, get hands-on experience to build business skills, and pass on knowledge about the data-trade. Building a local community isn’t as complicated as you’d think – post some fliers or use social media to invite a small group for a meeting or keep on the lookout for similar gatherings. Bring a friend or two who are interested in data and have an attractive incentive to get people to attend your event! If you’re looking to build an even larger local community, find sponsors for your program to get funding and support from bigger fish in the data community.
