Exclusive Speakers Coming to ODSC Europe 2021
ODSC East 2021 was just a few weeks ago, and some people may be wondering why we’re having two conferences so close together. Well, there’s actually a good reason for that — ODSC Europe 2021 will have exclusive content that’s unique to the event that you couldn’t experience at East. With new ODSC Europe 2021 speakers and focus areas, alongside new partners and events, ODSC Europe 2021 is worth your time to improve your data science skills.
