## Details
The PyData Global Online Conference is where users, contributors, and newcomers can share experiences to learn from one another and grow together. PyData provides a virtual forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other.

This three-day online event consists of talks, tutorials, and discussions to bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases.
The time span of the conference stretches beyond any single time zone, reflecting the global nature of our community.

Why Charge for an Online Conference?
Revenue from the event will go to PyData and NumFOCUS, a nonprofit organization that supports open source scientific computer programming. NumFOCUS currently sponsors 60 Open Source Projects, and organizes community-driven educational programs for users and developers of open source scientific tools.While the 2023 PyData Global Conference has no costs for venue or catering, there are still costs associated with bringing the event online. We also need to continue paying fixed costs to keep NumFOCUS healthy, as well as continue supporting the open source community.
For this reason, we have chosen to sell tickets with a pay-what-you-can pricing model. We appreciate your support for us during this time so that we can keep supporting you in the future. - PyData & Kickstart AI - AI in Fintech: Shaping Tomorrow's FinanceStartup Village, Amsterdam, NH

In Dimitrios' talk, he will explore the innovative AI solutions used in the industry and their impact on businesses and consumers alike. He will cover how AI is being implemented to optimize traditional customer service domains to the more dynamic field of financial crime detection to chatbots using Generative AI.

by Belle Bruinsma - Adyen
Abstract: Making an online payment using your credit card can be done in a blink of an eye. However, a lot is happening in the background to make sure this process goes as frictionless as possible. Transactions are optimized by multiple machine learning models running in production. Through multi-model optimisation, we are optimizing on the full funnel of a transaction instead of each model individually. In this talk, Belle will dive into the challenges we’ve faced at Adyen while immersing ourselves in the world of multi-model optimisation and highlight some of our achievements.Model Selection in Fintech: The Pros and Cons
by Yash Ramdjas - Globadyme
