<p>There’s only one week left until the very first <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/">satRdays event</a> all around the world!</p>
<p>This is a very exciting project with great interest from the R and more general data science community — in the past short 2 months (since we opened registration for the conference):
<ul>
<li>More than 160 persons signed up and paid for attendance from 17 countries so far (around 50-50% mix of academic and industry tickets, 30-70% mix of foreign and Hungarian attendees)</li>
<li>We received almost 40 voluntary talk proposals in a few weeks of time while the CfP was open</li>
<li>25 selected &amp; awesome <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/#keynotes">speakers</a> agreed on to present  at the conference</li>
</ul>
<div><img src="https://i0.wp.com/2.bp.blogspot.com/-tDNjouxLzHU/V8GYKUVVX-I/AAAAAAAA53s/59Oa3BnyNgk2YDHFYWLLQnd-yQTxVcZJgCLcB/s320/CquMXMPW8AAEHk6.jpg?w=320&ssl=1" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1"></div>
<p>
<ul>
<li>Registrants can choose between 6 (free) <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/#workshops">workshops</a> to attend in the morning before the conference sessions</li>
<li>A pre-conference <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/#datavizcompo">Data Visualization Challenge</a> is going on with the final round to be at a live session at the end of the conference</li>
<li>One Platinum, two Gold, three Silver and eight Bronze <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/#sponsors">sponsors</a> decided to support this conference by paying 3/4 of the overall costs</li>
</ul>
<div><img src="https://i1.wp.com/2.bp.blogspot.com/-ou4kv5lJp3M/V8GZKQ3BJAI/AAAAAAAA534/KR064eo35XM_sQJDGTCD_PUvVHWq8_zAACLcB/s320/sponsors%2Blores.png?w=320&ssl=1" border="0" data-recalc-dims="1"></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>We found a fantastic venue, made deals with catering &amp; press companies, learned a lot about strange Hungarian tax laws and accounting, tweaked HTML/CSS/JS at late nights, Gimp-ed some graphics for roll-up banners, t-shirts and many more without much designer skills (worried about the results, huh?) — I will write a blog post in mid-September on my experiences with some hints, dos and dont’s for future satRday organizers <img alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f642.png"></li>
</ul>
<p>In short, if you are interested, <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/#registration">sign up today</a>: we still have a <i>few</i> (like 4 academic and 7 industry) tickets left, so this is your last chance to be able to attend the very first satRday conference all around the world!

<p>If you might miss this conference (I know you already feel more and more frustrated about this), let me suggest some related events in the near future:
<ul>
<li>The next <a target="_blank" href="http://satrdays.org/">satRday events</a> will happen in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Cape Town, South Africa early next year, and I’m pretty sure that many more locations will be announced soon <img alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/72x72/1f642.png"></li>
<li>The <a target="_blank" href="http://budapestbiforum.hu/2016/en/">Budapest BI Forum</a> (mid-Oct) is a 3 days conference with a very strong R track on the Open Analytics Day based on the past few years’ experience. The <a target="_blank" href="http://budapestbiforum.hu/2016/en/cfp/">CfP</a> is still open, hope to see you there!</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="http://erum.ue.poznan.pl/">eRum 2016</a> (European R users meeting) is a new initiative of a 3 days conference in Poland  (mid-Oct) with an impressive number of participants and sessions, looking forward to it!</li>
<li>And let me also recommend <a target="_blank" href="http://crunchconf.com/">Crunch Conference</a> (early-Oct, Budapest) for data engineers and scientists — which is another 3 days conference with two track and very impressive list of A+ speakers.</li>
</ul>
