Tech Brunch Event

This edition of the tech brunch focuses on web scraping: the tools, the techniques, and the recurring headaches of pulling structured data out of pages that were never designed to hand it over. Attendees compare strategies for difficult targets and trade recommendations on proxies and browser automation frameworks. The format is a relaxed morning meal at Beltempo, the restaurant inside Hotel Metropolitan Edmont near Iidabashi. It is aimed at data scientists, software developers, researchers, startup founders, and anyone whose work depends on extracting data from the web. The group is deliberately small, so expect a conversation around a table rather than a talk with an audience. RSVP matters for two reasons. First-time attendees who RSVP and are confirmed on the attendee list have their meal covered, and the group may relocate if it cannot account for who is coming. The organizers also note they may gather before the posted start time, but will be present at the scheduled hour.
