# macroexpand-2 - Connecting Clojure Data Practitioners, Startups, Consultancies, and Academic Groups
Join us for our second meeting of [macroexpand gatherings](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/groups/macroexpand/), a Scicloj initiative that brings together Clojurians for focused, action-oriented discussions to help Clojure grow in new domains and use cases.
The two main questions we will ask are:
- What are some of the main challenges for groups and individuals who use Clojure in data projects?
- What can we do to improve the situation?
Are you using Clojure for data analysis, modeling, engineering, or visualization? Whether youβre with a startup, consultancy, academic institution, or any organization working with data, we want to connect with you.
π£ Please share this broadly.
This meeting is co-organised by @syungb & @daslu.
## Joining
π Please mark your participation [using the form](https://forms.gle/R5NDKyv9vwgWRvCn9) before Aug. 5th.

## More about the event
### π₯ What makes this event different?
Itβs a platform to:
- Share real-world experiences and challenges
- Network with fellow practitioners
- Develop concrete solutions to common problems
- Shape the future of Clojure in data science
This meeting will be a bit more structured than π₯ [the macroexpand-1 meeting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TY6cJ8YiwU), which [was part of our recent scinoj-light-1 conference](https://scicloj.github.io/scinoj-light-1/sessions.html#macroexpand-1).
### π Agenda
| Session | Focus On |
| --- | --- |
| Opening | Welcome & introductions |
| Lightning Rounds | Lightning talks from community members |
| Noj Introduction | Clojure data analysis toolkit demonstration |
| Open Discussion | Practical lessons from the field |
| Strategic Discussion | Growing teams and hiring |
| Community Building | Creating lasting support networks |
| Action Planning | Turn ideas & suggestions into commitments |
### What we want to gain
Our goal is to transform individual challenges into collective solutions, strengthening the entire Clojure data ecosystem.
## Any questions/suggestions?
Please [Reach out](https://scicloj.github.io/docs/community/contact/) to participate in this collaborative effort to advance Clojure in the data space.

A little request:
If anybody could share this event with relevant companies, groups or individuals who are not so present here, this would be of great help.

In our recent real-world-data meeting 33, we discussed this upcoming event and a few other community initiatives, as you may see in this video snippet.
