Plotly Community Meetup in London
Earlier this month, Dash creator and Plotly Co-Founder Chris Parmer gave a live demo of Plotly Studio, showing how quickly teams can build production-ready Dash apps. But what really stood out were the thoughtful conversations that followed. We connected with professionals from hedge funds, software consultancies, NGOs, and beyond — each bringing unique perspectives and real-world use cases.
These meetups are all about meaningful exchanges, real feedback, and building a stronger data app community. Thanks to everyone who joined us! Sign up for our upcoming batch of meet-ups on our Luma page.

Shatter BI Limits: Using AI to Accelerate Data Insights
Traditional BI tools offer dashboards and charts but they leave stakeholders staring at data instead of acting on it. Even with AI layered in, most BI platforms fall short on advanced analytics and operational impact.
Join Plotly experts for a live session on the growing gap between legacy BI and the rise of AI-native analytics. Learn how forward-thinking teams are moving beyond passive insights to build dynamic, decision-driven applications. Register now to see the future of analytics in action.

🧑🏫 New Datacamp Course: Specialize in Data Visualization with Plotly and Dash
Ready to become an expert in interactive data visualization and app building? Our new DataCamp x Plotly track takes you from your first plot to fully functional dashboards using Plotly and Dash.
Start with the basics: create and style plots like histograms and box plots, then level up by building your first Dash app. You’ll explore real-world scenarios like designing a multi-graph dashboard for a global e-commerce company, and learn how to bring your apps to life with HTML, CSS, and Dash components like dropdowns and date pickers.
You’ll also dive into AG Grid, Dash’s powerful table component, to create interactive tables that can filter, sort, and trigger changes in other visualizations.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your Dash skills, this course gives you hands-on practice with every step of the data app journey. To celebrate the launch, the Introduction to Data Visualization with Plotly in Python course is now free for everyone for a limited time!
