Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, vendor-neutral Charlotte-area gathering for people working across data, analytics, engineering, governance, science, and AI.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The organizers frame this as a restart after earlier Charlotte data groups repeatedly depended on one organizer, one sponsor, and one venue. Their proposed safeguards include rotating sponsors, no consecutive sponsor nights, and sharing audience numbers without handing over attendee lists. The first three meetings are planned as online sessions, with later in-person events rotating around the metro; registration is stated to open in September.
