We’re super pumped about our speaker line-up, which includes Wall Street’s top quantitative firms and the leading minds in vector and timeseries analytics who are blazing new trails in the era of AI.

We’ll also be delving into why businesses shouldn’t be stuffing all their time series data into a traditional data warehouse.
