Concluding Thoughts
This year's keynote speaker lineup will not only give you a great look into what Julia is being used for in the wild today but also give perspective on solving some of the most challenging problems facing us today.
From Jeremy's experience scaling Fast.ai (one of the largest ML communities in the world), to Dr. LeDell's leadership in the ML space and relentless advocacy for equality, to Dr. Attarwala's contributions at Moderna which have touched many of our lives in the Covid-19 era, this is going to be an amazing set of talks.
