We’re proud and lucky to have a thriving community of enthusiastic Plotly users. Plotly Community Manager Adam Schroeder started a new initiative called “Plotly Hangouts”. The casual session will occur every month and feature an interactive interview with a Plotly Community member with live audience Q&A. (Think of it as a virtual fireside chat!)

July's session will feature John Kang, Director of Planning Analytics and Industrial Engineering at Cox Automotive. Working at the largest U.S. automotive auction network, John leverages Python and Plotly Dash to deliver analytics for large-scale capacity planning. In a conversation with Adam, John will share the following:

His experience working on a data analytics and workforce analytics team
Technical details about tools that support Cox Automotive Dash applications
Career advice for people on the analytics side of the business

Save your spot for July's community hangout!
