Continuing our series "10 key skills for Data Science that universities are failing to teach"  we are diving into two of the most important technical skills for any data scientist working in an organisation. How to write code you can be proud of and how to get your models deployed in production. 
 
We are lucky to be joined by two very experienced data scientists who will be sharing what they have learnt over their careers before opening up the floor to questions from attendees. 

Joining instructions (Zoom link) will be sent the day before the event.
