Attend Training Sessions on Monday and Tuesday
With a Platinum or VIP ticket, ODSC East attendees can attend the half-day training sessions on Tuesday. In these 3 ½ hour training sessions, leading data scientists will give in-depth talks on various subjects. The ODSC East 2020 training sessions will help you learn an important, tangible skill in the shortest amount of time, such as crash courses on ML, DL, NLP, and more. These sessions are only available to Platinum and VIP ticket holders, and provide a quick ROI since you’ll be able to go right back to work and implement these new skills instantly.
Meet face-to-face with industry-leading experts like Cassie Kozyrkov, the Chief Decision Scientist of Google Inc.
For example, Andreas Mueller, PhD (Author, Research Scientist, Core Contributor of scikit-learn) will host a morning “Introduction to Machine Learning with scikit-learn” training session, and then “Intermediate Machine Learning with scikit-learn” later that day. You can become proficient in machine learning in only one day. Another popular training at ODSC East 2019 was Lukas Biewald of Weights & Biases’ full-day session, “Introduction to Deep Learning for Engineers,” where attendees walked away able to start using deep learning immediately.
