The Enterprise Applications of the R Language (EARL) Conference is a cross-sector tech conference focusing on the commercial use of the R programming language. Join us on 3rd – 5th September 2024 in Brighton for its 10th year as we hear from some of the world’s leading practitioners, consultants and industry experts in R, Python and data science.

Yes, you read that correctly! EARL has long been a cornerstone for professionals across industries who leverage R for real-world data challenges, but this year, we’re expanding our horizons by integrating Python. This convergence promises a more comprehensive view of modern data science, bridging statistical expertise with advanced computational capabilities.

New city, new languages – and new hosts too, with Brighton based data and analytics consultancy Datacove and Brighton’s tech sector hosts, Silicon Brighton taking over from the wonderful team at Ascent who have made EARL the event it is today.

As if that wasn’t enough to get you excited, our line-up of speakers includes the one and only Hadley Wickham! Joining him are Christel Swift from the BBC, Steph Locke from Microsoft, and renowned statistician and author Andy Field from the University of Sussex, each offering their unique insights on the industry today – and where we are headed tomorrow!

The conference agenda spans three days of workshops, keynotes, and talks featuring 40+ speakers from a diverse range of diverse and markets. It’s an unparalleled opportunity to learn, network, and engage with leading minds in both R and Python.
