Welcome to the latest PyData Belgium meetup! We have 3 (Gen)AI-free talks ready 🙀:

• Jeroen Boeye: "Embracing the Variance: Probabilistic Forecasting for Logistics" - a view on how Monte Carlo simulations and probabilistic models helped with operations: planning, adjusting to ETA shifts, cargo fluctuations, etc.
• Aditya Paliwal: "Geo-Intelligence: Unlocking Insights Through Open-Source Geospatial Analytics" - on the full lifecycle of geospatial applications from PosgreSQL to Kalman filters.

This edition will be hosted in the Dataroots offices in Leuven (thanks for hosting us!). Talks start at 7pm. Hope to see you there!

Op vrijdag 9 oktober vieren we samen met de doelgroep(en) het 10-jarig bestaan van Smart Education at Schools (SEAS)

We combineren deze feestelijkheden met een netwerklunch tijdens de middag en de vast workshops van Digiwijs. Hierop nodigen we de cruciale doelgroepen uit en bedanken alle stakeholders & partners die de succesverhalen uit het verleden mee mogelijk maakten. Samen blikken we terug en kijken ook naar de toekomst.

For those unfamiliar with LeanCoffee: it's a moderated discussion format where we talk about the topics that get voted on by the participants. This makes for varying topics.
Overall, Lean Coffee provides a flexible and democratic way for groups to engage in meaningful conversation.

We try to start at 19:30 with an intro round and start gathering topics you want to talk about straight after. Coming late is ok, but just know that you typically won't have a say in what gets talked about.

When you come for the first time, you’ll usually find the host, Nicky, there early, with a Lean Coffee sign on the table — and often in the company of two dogs.
