Welcome to the next virtual event from PyData Edinburgh!
As always, this will last an hour, and we'll have a main talk plus a Q&A session at the end. The session starts at 6pm, use the Zoom link which will be provided in the registration email once you RSVP.

As always, let us know if you would like to give a talk in the future, whether a main or a lightning one, we're always looking out for speakers (as you know!). We've got some more volunteers for lightning talk, so if we get a couple more we'll be able to run an evening with just lightning talks, which would be great.

Tonight we welcome two speakers who are giving the talk together. Angus is a well known face at PyData, and has helped support us since the very start and we're delighted his colleague Alex will also be joining us.

MAIN TALK: Realtime NLP in Google cloud with Kafka, Apache Beam, TFX and Vertix AI.
