Send us your presentation slides! Drop a link to one of the organisers on Slack or another way. We want to minimise time spent switching laptops so we will run your slides from our pc.
Prepare data in advance as much as you can; spending the day cleaning or retrieving data won't gather crowds of DS! Contact organisers if you need a data repository to share data with all your team members. If the project is already underway, prepare an introduction to it so that people can join. If you're presenting slides, send them to us before you arrive, make sure the task you propose is feasible during the time of the event, and describe the skills you expect your team to have: R or Python? AWS, Spark? etc. 
For final presentations: Start writing the final presentation right from the start and add elements little-by-little all day long. Articulate the reason you want to do the project, and the solution. Make it understandable to everyone. If you wish, your work will be published on <A HREF="http://www.datasciencehongkong.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">this website</A> with your bio, name, etc. Other details:
