What we’re about
PyData Chicago is a monthly meetup to discuss all things python (or R, Julia, C++, Rust, Go, ...) and data! Our meetup is now hybrid! Enjoy the event in person or virtually, hosted on Zoom. We usually meet on the last Thursday of the month.
All meetups are recorded and posted on PyData's YouTube channel 1 week after the event -- unless the speaker does not want to be recorded. Presentation decks, code and other artifacts from the meeting are also shared with all attendees subscribed to the Meetup event 1 week after the event -- with the permission of the speaker.
The PyData Code of Conduct governs this Meetup. To discuss any issues or concerns relating to the code of conduct or the behavior of anyone at a PyData meetup, please contact co-organizer Olivia Martin via Meetup's message feature.
PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

•HybridPulto: Notebooks for Spatial Visualization System
200 N La Salle St suite 1100, Chicago, IL, USDetails: This project extends the concepts of Jupyter notebooks to allow them to be a basis of an easy way to create a low code environment for people to share various data in a 3d environment. Also, the environments are saved as a Jupyter notebook by referring to the source files and data sources and also where they are in the shared 3D environment using Jupyter metadata so it can still be interpreted by a Jupyter server.
Audience Takeaway: I would like the audience to think about how your tasks that you do for work could benefit if instead of looking at a screen versus changing your work environment using a headset.
Zoom: This is a hybrid event. To attend online, join us on Zoom here at 6pm:
