While we are still searching for a new permanent home for our regular speaking events, we didn't want to miss the chance to bring the PyData Southampton community together before the end of the year! ​So, we are skipping the formal talks and slides this month and heading back to The Overdraft in Bedford Place for a relaxed Winter Social. ​Whether you’re a seasoned data scientist wanting to chat about the latest in AI and ML, or you're new to the field and looking to meet friendly faces in the local tech scene, come along for a catch-up, some networking, and a few drinks (alcohol completely optional) and tacos. ​**What to expect**: ​No Talks, Just Chat: A completely informal evening to connect with fellow data enthusiasts, researchers, and engineers. ​All Levels Welcome: From seasoned ML veterans to curious beginners - everyone has a seat at the table. ​Food & Drink: Great craft beers, soft drinks, and tacos available at the bar. We are not catering the event so be prepared to buy your own. ​**Important Details:** ​**Finding Us:** We haven't reserved a private area at the venue, so just grab a drink and keep an eye out for people who look like techies and (hopefully some) familiar faces. ​**RSVP**: We aren't formally ticketing this event, please click 'Attend' on this Meetup page if you plan to come along so we can give the venue a rough idea of numbers. **We look forward to seeing you there for a festive catch-up! 🍻🌮**
