Data & Beer - Fall SocialAnu's plan: I'm goingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Networking5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. James Joyce Bistro (Peacock Billiards) Free (Meal ~$10.00–$20.00) 21 Registered Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
Data & Beer has left the brewery. Phillips in September, a bistro inside a billiards hall on Douglas this time, and a shorter walk from most desks at five o'clock. It lands the day after TEDxVictoria, so the room should arrive still chewing over somebody else's ideas, with no agenda here to compete.

Big Data & Analytics West Summit 2026Anu's plan: RecommendedIn Vancouver, BC (YVR)ConferenceNovember 3 to 4, 2026 JW Marriott Parq Vancouver $895.00–$1,595.00 Unavailable Strategy InstituteAnu's Take
A summit about clean, trustworthy data whose own website still lists two different Vancouver hotels for the venue. Their own logo still brands this as the sixth annual, so I modified the image on this card to remove that, and will leave it until they update theirs to reflect that this is the seventh. I say all of it with some sympathy, though: getting your own facts to line up is the whole job, and it is harder than any keynote about it will admit.

From Startup to a Data Driven OrganizationAnu's plan: Just sharingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Talk5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Charter Free–$10.00 Unavailable Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
Worth the evening for the buy-in half. An executive approving a data programme and an organization that actually decides things differently are two separate events, and the gap between them is where most of this work quietly dies. Travis is giving this one in his own office rather than as a visiting consultant, which usually means the examples arrive with their edges still on.
Data & Beer - Fall SocialAnu's plan: I'm goingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Networking5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Phillips Taproom Free (Meal ~$10.00–$20.00) Unavailable Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
A social called Data & Beer, at a brewery, twelve days before autumn officially starts. The venue has moved across town to Rock Bay, so anyone navigating from memory ends up in Uptown looking at the wrong parking lot. Phillips has a kitchen in there now, which improves the odds of the good conversations outlasting the first pint.

Trustworthy Data: From Collection to Peer ReviewAnu's plan: I'm goingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Talk5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. theDock - Centre for Social Impact Free–$10.00 Unavailable Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
The quietest line in this agenda is 'responsible, accurate corrections', which is the polite way of saying the numbers get changed after they are collected. Everybody does it. Almost nobody has a process that holds up when someone asks about it a year later, and that is the gap worth two hours.
BBQ & Annual General MeetingAnu's plan: I'm goingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Networking12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre (JDF Rec) Free–$10.00 Unavailable Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
Saturday. Will there be fireworks?

Data Talk - Leveling Up Video Game AnalyticsAnu's plan: I'm goingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Talk5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Frontier Co-Working Space (Motus Design Group) Free–$10.00 Unavailable Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
Most companies say they are data-driven and mean they own a dashboard nobody opens. Games run the real version, because when the numbers are wrong the players simply leave, and no quarterly narrative will talk them back. The AAA versus indie split is the part worth showing up for: same questions, wildly different budgets, and the small studios cannot buy their way out of thinking.

Data Talks - The Modern EnterpriseAnu's plan: Just sharingIn Victoria, BC (YYJ)Talk5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. CGI Victoria Office Unavailable Victoria Data SocietyAnu's Take
Legacy, IBM mainframe. Geez, IBM and legacy in the same sentence is an understatement. Leave it to a Canadian firm to sort out IBM. If only Fresche had been around when the Phoenix pay system was being scoped.

Data is everywhere. If you are a knowledge worker, this is the Victoria crew you want to hang with. You might just get insight into how to turn that .csv export into a something useful.
