I think it’s a great community and what you’re building here is really important because people can actually come and share and learn from each other and it’s not your straightforward corporate kind of event which I think a lot of people cherish.

It’s important for sponsors to come to events like this because we get to meet a very diverse new breed of people coming onto the market. There are lots of new talent, new skills, returners and people who have taken a career break from work. We also get to have a diverse portfolio of people applying to the roles that we have open right now.

Out of all the London meetups, Data Science Festival is at the very top. It has fantastic conversations, lots of great speakers and really varied folks to come. It’s grown massively over the years and it’s been fantastic to come to every single one.

Thank you very much for being my mentor throughout this DSF mentoring programme. These past few weeks where we have had group and 1-to-1 online sessions have been very helpful, in terms of the advice you have given based on your own experiences and journey. I particularly found the networking with other students within my group to be very valuable, as I got to learn more about how other individuals are approaching their careers and what extra-curricular things they are doing as well. Overall, I am happy to have taken part in this mentorship as your mentee and I look forward to taking part in more opportunities like this in the future.
