**Welcome, Manchester Data Intelligence Network!** [Manchester Data Intelligence Network](https://www.meetup.com/manchester-data-intelligence-network/?eventOrigin=your_groups) is a community-based networking event bringing people together to meet peers, share stories, and build meaningful relationships around data intelligence. Hosted by [Datacove](https://datacove.co.uk/), award-winning Brighton-based R, Python and Shiny experts, these events also offer inspiring talks, hands-on sessions, and open knowledge sharing, all in a friendly, inclusive environment. Whether you’re just starting out in data or a seasoned expert, there’s always something new to discover, spark your curiosity, and take back to the office.
