Tomorrow: Join us for "Low Code Data Science"
Plus, a demo of marimo, a next-generation computational notebook
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for Low Code Data Science: Myth, Reality, and How Organizations Really Use Tools Like KNIME. Michael Powers will kick us off with a demo of marimo, a next-generation computational notebook for Python and SQL. Keith McCormick will follow with his talk about the ecosystem for low-code and no-code data science tools, how they work in practice, and the kinds of outcomes organizations are achieving with them.
We’ll be gathering in-person at the UVA Darden School of Business. Thanks again to Darden for hosting us!
Come early for Keith’s capstone talk
Keith McCormick currently serves as the Bodily Professorship in Analytics, which is a one-year visiting scholar role at the Darden School of Business. Keith will be giving his capstone talk in the same classroom as our event at 4:30 pm.
Members of the Charlottesville Data Science community are invited to arrive early to attend the capstone talk. Keith will discuss his experiences at Darden during the academic year and the projects he has been working on.
The 2026 Applied Machine Learning Conference is now just over three weeks away! We have 42 sessions lined up over two days featuring technical talks and hands-on tutorials from speakers at organizations like NVIDIA, Anthropic, Amazon, Microsoft, McAfee, S&P Global, DARPA, IBM, and many more, as well as leading universities including UVA, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, Duke, and NC State.
