Spark + AI Summit is Europe’s largest data and machine learning conference, and the big news in 2019 is how many women are driving some of the greatest advances in big data, machine learning, and data science.
This 15-17 October in Amsterdam, more than 1700 data scientists, engineers, and developers will gather to share best practices for building real-world AI applications. In 120-plus informative sessions, we’ll discuss the latest advances in open-source technologies, including Apache SparkTM, MLflow, Delta Lake, Koalas, and much more.
We’re very excited about a keynote address from Katie Bouman, Assistant Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech. Katie specializes in using emerging computational methods to push the boundaries of imaging, and she’ll talk about how she developed an ML algorithm to capture the first-ever picture of a black hole.
We’re also thrilled to introduce new events for Women in Unified Analytics, providing fantastic opportunities for women and their allies in big data, data science, machine learning, and AI to connect, learn, and network. All genders welcome!
