Join us for this in-person event on May 15, 5pm-7:30pm at Snowflake's Office, featuring the wonderful folks of Women in Machine Learning & Data Science. 

Enjoy a double-feature talk and an evening of networking. Small appetizers and drinks will be provided.

The Talks

Production for Use - Complexity, Scaling, and Sensitivity

We talk about tools for data pipelines as if all data projects need the same tools. As soon as we think about this however, it's clear that data projects differ considerably in internal complexity, data scale challenges, sensitivity and team size.

In this talk, I'll share a scorecard I've been contributing to, that helps us compare projects and identify what the most significant challenges are in a specific project. Then we'll talk about some Python or adjacent tools through this lens to identity whether a tool is more or less appropriate for different kinds of projects.

Accelerating your work with Streamlit (and GenAI)

Come hear Amanda, co-founder of Streamlit, talk about how Streamlit continues to evolve to accelerate data teams and make their lives a bit more fun. The talk will give background on Streamlit, examples of integrations with genAI libraries, and upcoming releases.
