Talks:
Dark Data: The Untapped Resource That Could Transform Industries
by Rhea Mendonca
Discover the transformative potential of dark data: the vast amounts of collected but unused information. This presentation will explore real-world examples, technical challenges, and ethical considerations, equipping attendees with strategies to harness dark data for competitive advantage and responsible AI practices.
The future of Python Notebooks
by Rahul Ayyappan
This talk covers how Python notebooks are evolving from static documents to interactive, collaborative, and production-ready environments, using Marimo. We’ll examine emerging trends—such as AI-powered and reactive notebooks, notebook-as-app frameworks, and integration with modern workflows—equipping attendees with insights to leverage notebooks to reshape coding, teaching, and scientific publishing.
