This year, we are very pleased to welcome Mara Averick (@dataandme on Twitter), as our keynote speaker! Mara is an RStudio employee whose celebrated curation of data-science web posts has earned her almost 20,000 Twitter followers and enormous gratitude in the community. Mara’s talk will explore what she has learned about successfully communicating data science discoveries and concepts.
