Hamilton Global User Group October Meetup

Welcome to our October 2024 meet-up!
The purpose of this meet-up is to (a) help the community get to know each other, (b) help you get started and make better use of Hamilton, (c) provide another avenue to help shape Hamilton's roadmap.
We'll see whether we can make it through the agenda in 60-75 minutes, but we've put 90 minutes as a buffer.

• Intros & hellos. [~5-10 mins].
• Community spotlight corner [~15-30mins]: Sholto Armstrong. Title: Building a Decisioning Engine for Data Scientists with Hamilton.
  In this talk, we will share our experience of leveraging Hamilton to build a comprehensive decisioning engine. We will explore the approach we took to build custom components on top of Hamilton, including decision trees, credit risk scorecards, and decision tables. The talk will walk you through practical examples from our work in finance, showcasing how we used our Hamilton-based decisioning engine to tackle challenges like fraud detection and credit granting. Throughout the talk, we will highlight the challenges we faced and how Hamilton was able to solve these issues. We will also explore the practical insights we gained and the best practices we developed for building robust, scalable, and explainable decisioning engines with Hamilton.
• What's New: Go over recent feature releases with quick demos and overviews. [10 mins]
• Open mic: open floor to suggest, discuss, and raise topics related to Hamilton and the community.

Excited to see you all!
This meet-up will for the most part be recorded, but in certain cases the community spotlight will not be recorded at the request of the speaker. Join Hamilton's slack to continue any conversations.
