🔎 Second talk (~20 mins+ Q&A)

Automated Photo Retouching

Speaker: Christopher Brossman, former VP of AI @The RealReal

In this talk, Chris will guide us through the transformative technology journey at The RealReal (TRR), where he co-invented a patented AI system to revolutionize photo retouching. With TRR processing 10-20k items each day, capturing 3-6 images per item, the traditional manual retouching was a significant bottleneck. This included labor-intensive tasks such as aligning mannequins, cropping images, and digitally removing stands and seams—all to maintain the brand's luxurious presentation.
Chris will reveal how, by integrating AI, TRR has automated 87% of image processing, yielding millions in annual savings and dramatically accelerating their workflow.

As TRR's former VP of AI/ML, Chris played a pivotal role in this innovation. Now, as an AI Engineering Manager at Meta, he is at the forefront of incorporating AI into the Smart Glasses product line, shaping the future of wearable technology.

🔎 Third talk (~20 mins+ Q&A)

Advisory Databases and Dependabot: and How They Apply to Python

Speaker: Jon Moroney, a Security Analyst @Github

Jon (aka darakian) is a security analyst working in the Security Lab at GitHub. He is primarily concerned with maintaining the breadth and quality of the advisory database so that GitHub users have the best experience possible with dependency alerts.

Abstract: Dependabot and the Advisory database: How GitHub works with and for the community to secure the world (and also Python!)
