Big PyData BBQ 2022
If you like cool talks about Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, coding or community, the Big PyData BBQ on July 7 in Mannheim was your place to be. The fourth edition of the annual Big PyData BBQ offered interesting talks and good opportunities for networking over a delicious BBQ.

KÖNIGSWEG and NEXT MANNHEIM again cordially invited to the annual BBQ of the PyData Southwest Community. The event could take place without Corona restrictions this year - this time we could welcome more than 100 participants at MAFINEX in Mannheim.
We were able to attract five great speakers - all PyLadies - for the event:

- Laysa Uchoa (Aiven) about Super Search with Python and OpenSearch (Video)
