    For those here interested in scaling Python analytics with Dask, our friends over at NumFOCUS are inviting you to join Dask Distributed Summit, May 19–21.

    The event will feature talks, lightning talks, fireside chats, tutorials, workshops, and more.

    What is Dask?

    Dask is a parallel computing library for Python. Dask scales Python natively, provides familiar APIs, and integrates seamlessly with the Scientific Python ecosystem. Dask makes it easy to scale data science and machine learning workflows. Moreover, Dask offers a complete framework for building distributed applications and powers many special-case softwares including RAPIDS, PyTorch, and Apache Airflow.
    There is more to Dask than the code, Dask is a community. Academics, researchers, data scientists, and industry professionals from around the world are both Dask users and Dask contributors. They help support, maintain, and grow the project and the community.
    To learn more about Dask, visit dask.org.

    For folks attending without the sponsorship of an employer, tickets for the Dask Summit are sold under a pay-what-you-can pricing model (with suggested donation amounts depending on the country you live in).
