Wednesday, April 20th: Day 2
In-person
On the second official day of ODSC East 2022, the ODSC East schedule will continue with bootcamp sessions, training, workshops, and shorter talks. We will also open up the in-person component of the AI Expo & Demo Hall where you can see what our community has to offer.
There will be one keynote: Overconfidence in Machine Learning: Do our Models Know What They Don’t Know?: Padhraic Smyth, PhD | Chancellor’s Professor | UC Irvine
For those who want to unwind a bit, there will also be a Networking session at night. We will also have a number of book signing sessions where you can get your data science books signed by the authors themselves.
- Stefanie Molin | Hands-On Data Analysis with Pandas – Second Edition: A Python Data Science Handbook for Data Collection, Wrangling, Analysis, and Visualization
- Scott Haines | Modern Data Engineering with Apache Spark: A Hands-On Guide for Building Mission-Critical Streaming Applications
Wednesday will also feature the first day of the AI Startup Showcase & Lab, where you can meet the founders, investors, speakers, and teams powering some of the worlds leading AI and machine learning startups.
Virtual
The virtual side of day 2 will be the same as the first day – workshops, training sessions, and the virtual AI Expo & Demo Hall.
In addition, there will be the ODSC’s Women in Data Science Ignite Sessions which fuel creativity and innovation among conference attendees. Ignite sessions are fast-paced, short presentations that allow attendees to pitch a unique, interesting project they’re working on.
Thursday, April 21st: Day 3
In-Person
The in-person component of the final day of ODSC East 2022 will mostly be the same as day 2, minus the networking reception. You can still attend plenty of talks, training sessions, and the AI Expo & Demo Hall. The second day of the AI Startup Showcase & Lab will take place on Thursday.
