GroupBy is data platform training by the community, for the community. View our website: https://groupby.org/
This year, we will we hosting GroupBy on two days, and plan to present two tracks of content each day. Session tracks will be announced closer to the event!
On Tuesday, October 27 GroupBy Americas will present sessions at timeslots accessible for American timezones.
On Wednesday, October 28 GroupBy Europe will present sessions at timeslots accessible for European timezones.
NOTE: Be sure to select the correct day when submitting your session! You can submit the same session to both days, but you will ONLY be allowed to present one session at GroupBy.
We welcome speakers submitting multiple sessions! We will only select your top-voted session to be presented, though.
Here's how GroupBy works:
- Speakers submit session abstracts publicly online
- Everybody votes for the abstracts they’d like to see most
- When voting closes, the top speakers/abstracts are picked for each stream of content (Europe or the Americas)
- Sessions are held online in an easy-to-watch platform
- A live co-host helps the session go smoothly by posing questions from Q&A and Twitter, helping things run smoothly
- Recordings are posted on our YouTube account
- Speakers can’t present on back-to-back days
- We encourage speakers to submit multiple sessions, but only their top-voted session will be selected.
