SUMMARY:Desjardins Data Cup
DESCRIPTION:To better foster this dialogue around how data is used in businesses\, Desjardins will be releasing an anonymized dataset and will encourage the community to explore it and extract insights from it. Participants will have 2 weeks to train the best predictive model to tackle a real-life scenario\, just as data engineers\, data scientists\, developers and business analysts at Desjardins would have. The top 5 teams on the Data Cup scoring platform will have an additional 7 days to prepare a presentation for a jury consisting of industry experts from Desjardins and its partners. \n\nData Cup is open to data aficionados from all backgrounds and demographics\, whether they be students or industry professionals\, subject matter experts or d3.js artists and to Desjardins employees as well (with some minor stipulations\, see guidelines). We encourage you to bring your creative lightbulb moments\, brainiest friends and your slickest ML tricks\, you’re going to need it. All to show off your geek cred and lift the trophy at Desjardins’ first ever Data Cup! \n\n\n \n\nMore information : datacup.ca

SUMMARY:Startupfest
DESCRIPTION:Startupfest is the largest startup event in Canada. Founded in 2011\, it has become the annual gathering at which entrepreneurs\, investors\, makers\, large enterprises\, industry veterans\, and startup communities chart the course of technology entrepreneurship. \n\n\n\n\nThe unique\, informal format\, set in one of the world’s most iconic cities\, tackles the entire lifecycle of new venture creation\, from the spark of an idea to the final signature on acquisition or the ringing bell of an IPO. Attendees leave with four days of world-class content; fresh connections; back-of-the-napkin ideas; and the allure of champagne-popping exits. \nThe festival is more than just great content and global attendees\, however. Over the years\, we’ve earned a reputation for rethinking the standard event formats—from panels of Grandmother Judges\, to Tent Villages that encourage networking around relevant themes\, and elevator pitches in actual elevators\, we combine aspirational keynotes with hands-on practicality and a healthy dose of irreverence. \nWe’re taking over a brand new venue in 2018\, building Startupfest’s largest village yet- accessible by boat (among other modes of transportation). \n\n\n\n\nONE LINER\n\n\n\n\nCanada’s leading tech innovation event blends world-class content\, hands-on practicality\, and a healthy dose of irreverence to help attendees from around the world chart the course of entrepreneurship. \n\n\n\n\nTHE HISTORY\n\n\n\n\nStartupfest began when Montreal’s grass-roots startup event outgrew its humble beginnings.
