Plotly Data Exploration of Montreal

​Join us in building Python-based visualizations, based on the Montreal dataset of the month. We'll work in small groups to build creative and rich apps to find data insights and learn more about the city we love.

​We'll use the Plotly Graphing library and Plotly Studio: an AI-native desktop application that automatically generates professional data apps and visualizations in minutes, using nothing but your dataset.

​Don't worry if you're new to Python and Plotly. Harshita will provide a brief introduction at the beginning of the session.

​Note: please bring your own laptops with batteries loaded. We'll bring the food and soda. Also, we encourage you to join Plotly's Discord server where we discuss the projects we tackle at these events.

​Mission

​The mission of this monthly Montreal get-together is to harness the power of data visualization and AI to uncover insights that can help improve the city we love. Our collaborative sessions focus on analyzing our city's data with the goal of learning about Montreal and making it a better place for everyone.
