Talk 1: Beyond Spreadsheets
Speaker:
Jeff Sternberg, Technical Director, Applied AI @ Google Cloud Office of the CTO
Tim Paine, Vice President @ JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Abstract:
It’s common in many organizations to separate “coders” from “business people”. Coders write software solutions that business people use to operate business processes. However, millions of analysts, marketers, accountants, and other knowledge workers write code every day -- they just use spreadsheets as their primary IDE. While this is understandable (spreadsheets are powerful!), in this talk we will explore an emerging theme: how can we bring data science and data engineering tools, such as Jupyter Notebooks, to the whole organization?

Talk 2: Using notebooks as a team
Speaker: Jakub Jurovych, CEO of Deepnote
Notebooks like Jupyter have became an important part of a data scientist's toolkit, even though they are still under active development. In this talk we'll look at what it takes to build a perfect notebook, how teams can collaborate effectively in Jupyter, and what new features we can expect in the future.
