The satRdays are SQLSaturday-inspired, community-led, one-day, regional and very affordable conferences around the world to support collaboration, networking and innovation within the R community.

The whole project and all events are community-driven, so there are a number of individuals and organizations contributing to the project, but if you are looking for an actual team behind the concept of satRdays, please feel free to get in touch with us:

• Steph Locke is a Principal Consultant at Mango Solutions and runs user groups & conferences in her spare time. She runs R, SQL, and .Net user groups in Cardiff, UK, and organises national conferences called SQL Relay. Over the past 3 years she's organised 25 days of SQL Relay conferences in more than 12 locations. Most recently, Microsoft made her a Data Platform Most Valued Professional for her community work in and around SQL Server and R.
• Gergely Daroczi is the maintainer of the pander and a few other minor CRAN packages, organizer of the Hungarian R User Group with ~500 members, technical founder of an R and Ruby-on-Rails driven reporting application at rapporter.net, author of an intermediary R book and currently working as a Lead R Developer and Research Data Scientist at CARD.com in Los Angeles.
