5 year anniversary co-organizing the NYC Machine Learning Meetup. http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Machine-Learning/
My role “launched” by simply being friendly and helpful to the original organizer, together we grew a meetup of 10 guys talking about papers in someone’s office to 5K+ members, 150 regular attendees and peak of 300+ attendees when we host guys like Peter Norvig. On a personal level it helped me change the direction of my career, meet and network with really interesting people. (If you’re interested in advice about organizing stuff feel free to ask or PM me).
