Annual Ball of Data Guild

Founded in February of 2019, Data Guild is about to turn four years old. To celebrate this, we invite you to join us at Epoch(4), the fourth annual ball of the association!

The celebration begins on Saturday, 25th of February, at 17:00 in Smökki at Jämeräntaival 4 with cocktails, snacks and gifts. When the clock strikes 18:00, we will transition into the sitsit, held in English, with food and people out of this world, along with live performances. We follow up after the sitsit with a wondrous afterparty – and who knows where the night may lead after that?

After surviving the night, the next day we head towards the Living Room at JMT5 from 12:00 onwards to enjoy the Sillis, a day-after brunch, where you can enjoy good food and drinks, palju, company and entertainment, reviving yourself from a day well-partied.

The annual celebration costs 40€ and the Sillis brunch 5€. There are 75 spots in total. You can also sign up only for the Sillis brunch. Sign-up for invited guests opens on Thursday 2nd of February. at 10:00. Sign-up for members of Data Guild opens on Thursday, 9th February at the same time.
