Welcome to the Washington DC Area People Analytics Community!
We are a community of practitioners and students from Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia who work with people data. We meet on a regular basis in-person to network and discuss important topics in the field.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please join the LinkedIn group and attend one of our next events!
Our values
Community-Driven
Volunteer-run and shaped by the people in the room. No corporate agenda, no gatekeeping — the community decides where this goes.
Thought Leadership
Conversations that go somewhere. Real questions, real data, honest debate — not polished keynotes with pre-approved answers.
Inclusive
Open to all career stages, all sectors, and all corners of the DMV. Federal, private, academic — the mix is the point.
People from these organizations have come to a meetup
Skills-based planning is only as smart as the data underneath it

A note on who should come
Host-sponsored showcase evenings like this one are intended for non-vendor audiences. If you sell into HR and want to be in the room, the best route is to host an evening yourself — see the Sponsors tab.
What an evening looks like
Doors open with about half an hour of unstructured catching up. Then a short moderated conversation, plenty of audience questions, and no slides if we can help it. Afterward people stay and keep talking.
Come on your own if you want. Plenty of people do, and nobody stands around by themselves for long.

ikonaanalytics.comWant to sponsor an evening?
Sponsoring gets you the room, a warm introduction, and a couple of hours with a self-selected group of people from across the DMV who work with people data every day. It does not get you a pitch slot — the programming stays independent, and that's exactly why people show up.
Typically a sponsor covers the venue and food for 40 to 60 people at a DC or Arlington restaurant, and helps us shape the topic.
Interested? DM anyone on the organizing committee on LinkedIn.
Join us
Just come
The most useful thing you can do. Join the LinkedIn group, watch for the next invite, and show up.
Speak
Short moderated conversations, twenty minutes or so, then questions. No deck required. Tell us what you'd talk about.
Sponsor
Cover a venue, or offer your office. Either way we'll build the evening around a topic your team actually cares about.
Join the committee
The committee picks the topics, lines up speakers, wrangles venues, and sends the invites. It's a few hours around each meetup, three or four times a year — not a standing weekly meeting.
We're glad to add people who want a hand in shaping where this goes. If that's you, DM any of us below.
