**Hello PyData People!** We are excited to announce our **second event of 2026**! This time, we will be hosted at **iliad Italia**'s headquarters in Milan for an evening dedicated to AI at scale—ranging from Foundation Models for credit risk to sovereign and open-source data architectures. 📅 **When:** Wednesday, February 18, 2026 📍 **Where:** iliad Italia, Viale Francesco Restelli, 1A, 20124 · Milano **⚠️ Important:** Spots are limited. Please keep your RSVP updated to allow others to participate if you can no longer attend. *** ## 🕒 Agenda * **18:30:** 🚪 Doors open & Check-in * **19:00:** 🎤 **Talk 1:** Open Source & Sovereign Architecture – Riccardo Lorenzon * **19:45:** 🎤 **Talk 2:** Klarna’s Foundation Model – Valeria Verzi, Sudhakar Periyasamy, Goran Dizdarevic * **20:30:** 🍕 **Networking & Aperitivo** offered by Iliad! *** ## 🎤 The Talks ## 1️⃣An Open Source and Sovereign Architecture for Data, ML and AI **Speaker:** Riccardo Lorenzon (Head of Data @ iliad Italia) Iliad Group invests billions in sovereign AI ecosystems, open-source tech, and low-carbon data centers to reduce reliance on non-European providers and bolster Europe's technological autonomy. True to Iliad Group's 'make-over-buy' culture of full control, iliad Italia is building a data architecture in a hybrid on-prem and Scaleway (Iliad Group cloud) setup, combining open-source tech and managed services. This powers data management, self-service analytics, and ML/AI use cases for our 12m+ user base and 1000+ employees. During this speech, we will guide you through the tech journeys we have built and are building. **About the Speaker:** Riccardo Lorenzon serves as Head of Data at iliad Italia, where he works on evolving the data function into a modern setup covering the full data value chain from sources to business decisions. He previously led data teams at Vedrai, an AI startup, and Whirlpool EMEA, handling projects in analytics, machine learning, and cloud platforms across areas like consumer service, supply chain, and sales. With a Master’s in Mathematical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and studies at ETH Zürich, he combines a hands-on approach to delivery with a strong focus on strategic value for the business. *** ## 2️⃣ Building the Klarna Foundation Model: A Unified Transformer for Customer Behavior Modeling at Scale **Speaker:** Valeria Verzi (Principal Data Scientist @ Klarna), Sudhakar Periyasamy, Goran Dizdarevic In this session, we introduce Klarna’s Foundation Model (KFM): a lightweight Transformer trained on more than 130 million customer events to learn a unified representation of customer behavior. Rather than building separate, task-specific models, KFM operates as a common sequence-modeling backbone that encodes behavioral patterns across different touchpoints of a customer’s interaction history with Klarna. We will walk through the technical design of the system, including event tokenization, sequence construction, and Transformer architecture, as well as how the learned embeddings are exposed as a shared layer for multiple downstream use cases. Attendees will gain a concrete understanding of how foundation models can be applied to behavioral sequence data in fintech, and how a single model can serve as a reusable, extensible representation layer across heterogeneous modeling tasks. **About the Speaker:** Valeria Verzi is a Principal AI Scientist at Klarna, where she leads the development of next-generation models, from foundation models to advanced deep learning or agentic systems. She has nearly a decade of experience applying machine learning to high-stakes decisioning across fintech and insurance. Before her current role, Valeria served as Klarna’s Head of Data Science for Fraud Prevention. Prior to Klarna, she held senior data science roles at Generali and NTT Data. Valeria holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science Engineering from Politecnico di Milano. *** See you there! 🚀 *The PyData Milano Team*

Costruire una data platform in contesti enterprise è spesso una battaglia quotidiana. Dati duplicati, pipeline fragili e trasformazioni poco tracciabili. Processi di sviluppo sul dato difficili da testare, versionare e rilasciare in sicurezza. Cataloghi presenti ma scollegati dai flussi reali, governance dichiarata ma non operativa. Piattaforme che crescono nel tempo, aumentando complessità e perdita di controllo. Il paradigma Data Lakehouse open source promette ordine, scalabilità e flessibilità — ma come si traduce davvero in produzione, quando entrano in gioco: \- requisiti enterprise \- qualità del dato \- testing \- CI/CD \- governance reale \- responsabilità e ownership? 👉 Questo meetup nasce per rispondere a questa domanda, partendo da un caso d’uso reale, sviluppato e messo in produzione. **Agenda** * 18:30 – 18:45 **Benvenuto e Networking** * 18:45 – 19: 40 **Lakehouse Open Source in produzione: architettura, governance e developer experience in un caso reale** * 19:40 – 20:00 **Community Slot** (Proponi il tuo talk) * 20:00 – 20:30 **Q&A e Saluti** Registrati subito al meetup per ricevere tutti gli aggiornamenti sull'agenda. **Lakehouse Open Source in produzione: architettura, governance e developer experience in un caso reale** Il paradigma del data lakehouse open source rappresenta oggi una scelta strategica anche in contesti enterprise complessi. In questo meetup presenteremo uno use case reale, mostrando come sia possibile costruire una data platform moderna basata su tecnologie open source. Il talk si concentrerà sull’adozione di pratiche data-driven e developer-oriented, evidenziando il ruolo di **dbt** nel garantire replicabilità, qualità del dato, testing e integrazione con pipeline CI/CD. A completare il quadro, affronteremo i temi di data governance e data discovery attraverso **DataHub** e **OpenMetadata**, illustrando come un data catalog centralizzato abiliti tracciabilità, ownership e governance nel dato. Un percorso pratico per portare i data lakehouse open source verso una vera data platform moderna che possa rispondere a esigenze enterprise reali. **Lorenzo Pasco - Data Engineer @Seacom Società Benefit:** Laureato in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering a Pisa, fin da giovane, ho alimentato la mia passione per l’informatica e i videogiochi, unendo la tecnologia alla mia vita quotidiana. Al di là del digitale, il mio cuore batte per lo sport, in particolare il calcio, e sperimento la creatività in cucina. **Se stai cercando di capire come rendere i Data Lakehouse davvero “enterprise-ready”, questo meetup è l’occasione per confrontarti su un’esperienza reale, fatta di architettura, codice, governance e persone.** Come sempre, ci sarà ampio spazio per il confronto, le domande e le discussioni aperte

**Unisciti a noi per dedicare una giornata a imparare e sperimentare con Zig!** Zig è un linguaggio di programmazione con una community in crescita. Ha una sintassi snella, performance incredibili ed è estremamente versatile. Se non lo conosci, questo evento è l’occasione ideale per iniziare a impararlo! Se invece già conosci Zig, potrai condividere il tuo progetto con altri e avrai la possibilità di aiutare altri programmatori a capire perché e come usare Zig. Non ci sono vincoli particolari per questa giornata: l’unico obiettivo è creare qualcosa di magico con Zig. **Agenda** 09:00 – 09:30 Accoglienza, introduzione informale e setup progetti 09:30 – 12:45 Sessioni Hands-On 12:45 – 14:15 Pausa pranzo 14:15 – 17:30 Sessioni Hands-On 17:30 - 18:00 Show & Tell **Attività extra** **Colazione @ Napoli Bakery** Il corpo principale dello Zig Day inizia alle 9:00. Per chi può e vuole arrivare a Seregno al massimo per le 8:10 (maggiori dettagli nella sezione "Come arrivare a Seregno"), potete unirvi a me da Napoli Bakery ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/PwLuW3pXqPhUa9xK7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PwLuW3pXqPhUa9xK7)). I miei consigli: * Coda d'aragosta (crema chantilly) * Zeppola di San Giuseppe (crema pasticcera) * Cornetto ischitano (ripieno a piacere) Dopo colazione, raggiungeremo a piedi il luogo dell'evento. **Pranzo @ Pane e Olio + Gelato @ Albero dei Gelati** Seregno offre diverse alternative, ma il gruppo principale pranzerà da Pane e Olio ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/oWBU5XRsHffcBrb8A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oWBU5XRsHffcBrb8A)). Dopo pranzo, se il tempo è bello e ne abbiamo voglia, possiamo fare due passi fino all'Albero dei Gelati ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/QmpGpzv34bp7joEv8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QmpGpzv34bp7joEv8)) per un gelato, e poi tornare indietro. **Cena e oltre** Non ho ancora scelto un ristorante specifico, ma ovviamente possiamo cenare insieme. Dopo cena possiamo fare un salto all'Old Station Pub ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fdrb7kU5B8tfXTBP9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fdrb7kU5B8tfXTBP9)) per un paio di birre. Un vantaggio dell'Old Station Pub è che si trova proprio accanto alla stazione ferroviaria: se avete intenzione di tornare in treno, potete restare fino alle 23:00 circa. Lo stesso vale per i parcheggi (vedi sezione successiva), entrambi i luoghi consigliati sono lì accanto. E se volete prendervela comoda e dormire a Seregno, anche il Biffi Hotel ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/vWeidrxkiKP342gSA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/vWeidrxkiKP342gSA)) si trova proprio vicino al pub. **Come arrivare a Seregno** Parcheggi consigliati: * [https://maps.app.goo.gl/ppiKJ4pvR2LJkoGH8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ppiKJ4pvR2LJkoGH8) (gratuito, all'aperto) * [https://maps.app.goo.gl/zFaSis5cU7PEMxgC6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/zFaSis5cU7PEMxgC6) (a pagamento, al coperto) ***Treni*** Se venite da Milano: * RegioExpress da Milano Centrale (consigliato, ogni ora al minuto :43, durata 25 min) * S11 da Porta Garibaldi (ogni ora ai minuti :08 e :38, durata 35 min) * S9 da Lambrate (ogni ora ai minuti :26 e :56, durata 35 min) Seregno si trova nella zona tariffaria Mi6 (Ring 6), quindi avrete bisogno di un biglietto che copra le zone 1-6. Se prendete il RE delle 7:43 da Centrale, sarete a Seregno perfettamente in tempo per la colazione da Napoli Bakery :^) Se avete domande sulla logistica, non esitate a contattarmi (@kristoff) sul gruppo Telegram Zig Italia ([https://t.me/ziglang_it](https://t.me/ziglang_it)) o via email (loris@zig.day).

**(7:00 PM)** 🔹**Please fill in your details to confirm your attendance.** https://forms.gle/GmCTgY1SDqeHS6cG9 **Talk: The power of color in personal branding** How to build a memorable color identity Color is not an aesthetic choice. It's a strategic lever. Too often, a brand or personal brand is built following simplistic, outdated rules: "blue conveys trust," "red means energy," "green feels natural." The truth? It doesn't work that way. In this talk, we'll move beyond color psychology clichés to explore a deeper, more scientific and truly personal approach. According to neuroscience, color perception isn't universal: it's tied to each person's experiences, memories and emotions. This is exactly where the difference lies between a brand that follows conventions and a brand that gets recognized, remembered and chosen. What will you take away? ● A fresh perspective on the strategic role of color in your personal brand ● A method to build an authentic palette that reflects who you are and what you want to communicate ● The tools to set yourself apart from competitors relying on standard solutions ● Hands-on examples, perception tests and real rebranding case studies we'll analyze together All without ever losing sight of what truly matters: readability, accessibility and functionality. Because a brand that works isn't just beautiful. It's effective. **About the speaker** **Gabriele Lakhal** Gabriele Lakhal is a Design Strategist for freelancers and SMEs. He helps professionals and businesses who fear becoming invisible in an increasingly competitive market stand out with authority and win clients.

Regroup at a bar nearby ([Old Town Bar](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2kigoa6ZMbgC1scG8)) **First Talk Description:** • The Bar is on Which Floor? Improving Altitude and Floor Detection Liam Meier, Director of Engineering at Radar iOS can estimate a device's altitude. In real world conditions, this estimate is far less accurate and reliable than horizontal (lat/lng) positioning, which makes the question "which floor is someone on?" hard to answer. Leveraging little known sensors in mobile phones and clever correction techniques enabled by at-scale deployments, we're able to determine mobile device altitude and floor level with markedly higher accuracy than what's available today. Liam Meier is Director of Engineering at Radar, where he leads the team behind Radar’s leading geolocation platform and mobile SDKs, deployed on over 300 million devices. Previously, he founded and built products at early-stage startups. In a past life, he studied galaxy formation under the influence of dark matter — helpful training for making sense of noisy sensor data. **Second Talk Description:** • Beyond the Sandbox: Secure iOS Development in an Era of New Security Standards Mike Sanderson Even as mobile apps have come to handle sensitive medical, financial, and personal information, the practices of secure mobile app development has remained a patchwork of received wisdom and platform constraints, with developers who want to practice secure development are often unclear on how to do so or what that even means. In the past few years, leaders in security standards have increasingly seen the need to for digital security incorporate secure coding earlier into the software development process, known as "shift left," and included references to systematic cybersecurity standards. This talk will look at how secure mobile app development fits into the larger security picture, including the security of the iOS platform and the MacOS platform apps are developed on. The talk will look at sources for guidance for secure iOS software development, in particular the OWASP flagship Mobile App Security project and other OWASP efforts. The idea will be to start to equip iOS developers not only to make good decisions but to systematically identify best practices and understand how they fit into the larger security picture. Mike Sanderson is a writer and computer programmer who has worked on iOS apps full-time since 2013, including working with a launch partner of Apple Wallet in iOS 9, working on a secure message app at scale, and independently finding and reporting an authentication-bypass bug on a medical iOS app, which was confirmed. Recently, Mike has provided comments on several National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) draft papers related to cybersecurity. **Location:** 111 5th Avenue Floor 12 New York, NY 10003 Please enter through the main lobby on 5th avenue, next to H&M.

This event will be online at [YouTube](https://youtu.be/YL9RuBmoJEY) and in-person (New York City). **The speaker and live stream starts at 7:30 pm ET**. In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. **Description** This talk, from the perspective of speech pathologists who specialize in communication language, focuses on strategies and perspectives that support all people, with or without a clinical or therapeutic background, in meaningfully engaging with individuals who are non-speaking or minimally-speaking to uplift and celebrate their unique personalities as well as provide space and opportunity for autonomy, self-expression, and connection with others. They'll provide an overview of total communication to broaden understanding of how all individuals use different forms of communication depending on our anatomy, physiology, cognition, preferences, and personality, as well as how we may code-switch depending on the setting, context, and our current state. The importance of being an informed and welcoming communication partner will be discussed to broaden perspectives on the significance of human connection. They'll outline specific, language-based strategies and provide examples. Attendees will have an opportunity to practice self-awareness of their own preferred communication methods, handling discomfort when interactions may push those boundaries, and opening their minds to the idea that connection transcends speech! We'll cover: * What is AAC? (Many different forms) * Strategies such as attributing meaning and verbal referencing * Following someone's lead * Partner-Assisted Scanning (PAS) * Expressive, receptive, and social language * Self-awareness of preferred communication methods **Presenter bios** [Molly Ziegler](https://www.linkedin.com/in/molly-c-ziegler-89351b1a7/) is a communication enthusiast with a passion for assistive technology.
