**What we'll do:**

This event will feature the following presentations:

Talk #1: Client-side Python with Pyodide
Speaker: Frank Seidl
Description: Explains the basic difference between client- and server-side computation in web development, why one might want to run Python code client-side, and how wasm Python interpreters like pyodide allow this. Explores an example of a static website whose functionality is based in Python with a Javascript exterior.

Lightning talk: ELI5: typing.Generic
Speaker: Andrew Beyer
Description: A slack thread in talk form: someone on the ChiPy slack asked for an intro to generics, and I wrote up a thread. It's fallen into the pit of slack message expiration, so this is it in talk form for posterity.

Talk #2: Understanding Data Types and File Formats
Speaker: Ajara Kudaibergen
Description: My talk is inspired by my learnings from various sources, including Chip Huyen's Designing Machine Learning Systems, and my hands-on learning experience in building data pipelines in Python. We'll explore why a deep understanding of data types, from primitive to categorical and vector types, is crucial for data integrity and model performance. We'll also learn the world of file formats, comparing popular choices like CSV, JSON, and Parquet, and discussing how to select the right format for optimal storage, processing speed, and cost efficiency. My goal is to deliver a session that is not only informative but also practical, providing attendees with the foundational knowledge they need to make more informed decisions in their own data projects. I look forward to the opportunity to share my passion and insights with the community.
