🔎 First talk (~25 mins + Q&A)
"How open-source brings you high-quality financial market data."
Speaker: Didier Lopes, Founder & CEO at @openbb_finance

Didier will introduce OpenBB, an open-source investment research software platform. He'll also discuss the funding journey and provides insights into the development of OpenBB Terminal and OpenBB SDK. By leveraging OpenBB, users gain access to top-tier financial market data and a comprehensive set of analytical tools, empowering them to make informed investment decisions. This talk offers a glimpse into the story behind OpenBB and highlights the significance of open-source collaboration in the finance industry.

🔎 Second talk (~25 mins + Q&A)
“Async can be easy: scaling structured concurrency with static and dynamic analysis”
Speaker: Zac Hatfield Dodds, a lead @ Anthropic, an AI safety and research company in San Francisco.

In his presentation, Zac will discuss the advantages of using async Python for structured concurrency. He'll explore the benefits of error handling, timeouts, cancellation, and readable code that async programming offers. Zac will introduce tools like flake8-trio for static analysis and demonstrate how dynamic analysis can help identify potential issues. With these techniques, even inexperienced developers can write elegant async code for various applications, such as web scraping, process management, or game development, without worrying about common pitfalls.
