Munich Datageeks: the hub where data enthusiasts, analysts, and AI pioneers come together to explore the limitless possibilities of data-driven innovation.
From the Community, For the Community
Munich Datageeks is more than just a group, it's a movement built by data enthusiasts, for data enthusiasts. We believe that the best learning happens when knowledge is shared openly, ideas are challenged, and people collaborate to solve real-world problems.
Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps into data science or a seasoned expert pushing the boundaries of AI, our community is here to supportand inspire you.
We thrive on exchanging insights, discussing the latest trends, and exploring new tools—because the power of data grows when it's shared.
From meetups to hackathons, we create opportunities for hands-on learning, networking, and meaningful discussions. Our events are shaped by the interests and passions of our members, making every gathering truly by the community, for the community.

Amazing people - Great Community
“As a data science consultancy with strong growth we are constantly looking for new consultants. The Munich Datageeks Meetups have been an excellent way of connecting to the community, positioning ourselves as an employer, and presenting some of our work. So far, we already had the chance to hire two datageeks and we look forward to more meetups.”
“The Datageeks Meetup was originally founded by two TrustYou engineers, so we've always had a special connection to this group. Intelligently processing data is challenging, constantly evolving, and above all - a great deal of fun. So we truly appreciate the platform for exchanging ideas and connecting with the community that the meetups provide. Plus we're always hiring smart data engineers!”
“Thanks for making it a great event.”
“It was really good and totally interesting. Both talks were great! Looking forward towards the next edition. :).”
“Awesome meetup! Will come again. Super Community, danke fürs Organizieren.“
