Following on from the success of Shiny in Production 2022, last week we were delighted to host the conference for the second time. The event took place at the Catalyst in Newcastle and featured two days of workshops and talks spanning all things Shiny! On day one, we held three interactive workshops: Introduction to Shiny for Python - Our guest speaker, Andrie de Vries from Posit, ran a workshop introducing the Python implementation of Shiny.
With the early bird deadline approaching, we thought now would be a great time to tell you a bit more about what to expect at this year’s Shiny in Production! Do you require help building a Shiny app? Would you like someone to take over the maintenance burden? If so, check out our Shiny and Dash services. As with last year’s conference, SIP2023 will take place over a day and a half at the Catalyst in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Registration is now open! Organisation is now well under way for Shiny in Production on 6th-7th October! Our events team here at Jumping Rivers have been hard at work to make sure the conference is everything it promises to be. There have been a few updates over the last month or so, so we thought it was about time for another blog post to keep you all informed! Do you require help building a Shiny app?
Save the Date: 6th-7th October This October, Jumping Rivers will be holding our in-person Shiny in Production conference!

The daffodils are out, the sun is shining(ish), spring is in the air! And that means that it’s time to start planning for the conference season. This year we’ll be treated to a lot more in person conferences for the first time since 2020, but for those of you who either prefer the online formats, or are still a bit hesitant about attending large conferences, fear not! There are many online and hybrid conferences for you to enjoy, and we’ve included a few highlights below.
At Jumping Rivers we’re always to want to branch into the data science community, and so this year we’re going to quite a few conferences in the autumn. You can catch us at: GSS (Government Statistical Service) Conference - Edinburgh From the 1-2 October, our very own Esther Gillespie (CEO) and Seb Mellor (Data Engineer) will be attending the GSS conference in Edinburgh. If you see them, feel free to chat or ask for some merch!
Earlier this month I attended the inaugural SatRday Newcastle. This was my first time attending a SatRday event, and I had a really enjoyable day. The event was sponsored by Newcastle University, Sage, RStudio and Jumping Rivers. There were over 100 attendees from across the U.K. Most attendees were from industry, although there were also a couple of academics present. There were also lots of R-Ladies, including women from the newly formed R-Ladies Newcastle, who are launching next month.
R conference Costs Last year we gave you a price break down of some of the most popular R conferences around the globe for 2017. We’re going to do it again for 2018. Remember, you can get up-to-date information on upcoming conferences via our GitHub page. It’s important to note that these costs are the prices of an industry ticket for the conference only. If you caught the tickets on early bird and are an academic/student you could see these prices fall by over 50% in some cases.
