What we do

Knowledge exchange with visible local impact

Technical meetups

Talks and demos on machine learning, data engineering, analytics, LLMs, graphs, and applied AI.

Workshops and hackathons

Hands-on formats that turn community knowledge into working prototypes and shared practice.

Independent network

A nonprofit association connecting practitioners, research, students, volunteers, and partner communities.

Member benefits

Discounts for selected conferences, workshops, and courses, plus direct support for independent events.

Active initiatives

Suggest a community format, help organize a session, or turn a practical question into a public event.

A simple path from idea to room

VDSG depends on community topics, workplace hosts, and practical questions from people building with data.

Step 1

Propose a talk or workshop

Bring a concrete technical topic, a case study, or a practical community challenge.

Step 2

RSVP on Meetup

Meetup remains the public RSVP channel and notification source for attendees.

Step 3

Host an event in your workplace

Offer a room, help with local logistics, and bring Vienna’s data community into your organization.
