SUMMARY:Data Horror Stories - Cripes!
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever stumbled upon bad stats that seemed to come from another dimension? Unearthed strange correlations that left you scratching your head? Encountered data so maliciously manipulated\, it could give you nightmares? If so\, it’s time to unleash your Data Horror Stories upon the world! \n \nBook your free ticket \n \nHave you heard the one about the air traffic contol mix up that caused huge delays and cost millions of pounds? Or what about the Google Maps mishap that caused the wrong house to be demolished? Or the utterly bizarre incident where a woman was mistaken for a car (!) and issued a parking fine?  \nHorror stories aren’t just told around campfires anymore – they’re lurking in the spreadsheets and databases of the digital realm. \nAs Halloween draws near\, we’re once again conjuring an event where the brave and curious gather to share their harrowing experiences\, spine-chilling tales\, and the invaluable lessons learned while grappling with data that seems to have a mind of its own. \n\nHave a story that you want get off your chest? Send an email to kirsty@opendatamanchester.org.uk to claim a speaking slot.\nToo shy to step into the spotlight? Send us your hair-raising story anonymously\, and who knows? It might just make an eerie appearance on stage during the event.\nBut wait\, there’s more! On the haunted night itself\, we’ve reserved some quick-fire slots for those brave souls who dare to share on the spot. Just give us a ghostly nod when you arrive\, and we’ll make sure your tale gets its time in the spotlight.\n\nSo join us for a night of ghoulish giggles\, petrifying plots\, and perhaps a few valuable lessons – all wrapped up in the enchanting world of data gone awry. See you there… if you dare!  \nSchedule: \n6.00 Doors creak open \n6.30 The horror begins \n8.30 The curtains close \nCode of conduct \nEveryone is welcome. Please take a minute to read our code of conduct. \n \n \nBook your free ticket
