PyYYC/PYdata (Rich, Graham): ethics during coding and back end > Graham co-organizer

Untapped Energy (Nicolas, Tim): Oil Gas

The planning team is confirming the earlier time that the space can be accessed, should you want to set up banners and other signage

The breakout is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. and conclude by 7:45 p.m.:

Each group to spend 6-8 minutes sharing about their organization (vision, when does this group meet, types of events, etc). and then a perspective on Data Ethics - more focus on highlighting the organization

There will be a door prize draw: Data Ethics by Daragh O Brien and Katherine O’Keefe. Value $65 CAD with thanks to DAMA Calgary - Untapped Energy can run the door prize draw

Let's go with the order numbered above; @Mirna, could you kick things off with a welcoming message, highlighting any sponsors that we need to, and letting the audience know what to expect in the next 45 minutes? Then you can jump into the YYC Data Society/YYC DataCon.

Untapped Energy will conclude and then do the door prize draw right away: there will be a QR code for those in the room to use to enter their name and contact detail - we'll then run a randomizer Wheel of Names to determine the winner.

Room for the Data feature breakout: Whalen Performance Hall
