What we’re about
Socialize with other Python programming enthusiasts, check out presentations on Pythonic topics, maybe participate in a code sprint or two, possibly work on projects and provide mutual technical support.
We typically meet the last Thursday of every month. There is a main talk between 30min - 1 hr followed by optional lightning talks. If you would are interested in being a main speaker at one of our events please reach out to one of our group organizers; Lalleh or Hannah.

Event Agenda:
There will be a main talk between 30 minutes to 1 hour followed by optional lighting talks. Pizza will be provided by Exasol.Main Talk by Madeleine Knapp Corneli:
From Queries to Models: Python + Exasol Analytics Database in ActionPython is one of the most versatile tools for data science, but it shines brightest when paired with the right database. In this session, we’ll explore how Python can seamlessly interact with high-performance analytical databases like Exasol. Using py-exasol, we’ll demonstrate how to query data, move it into pandas, and run quick analyses or models — all without leaving your Python workflow. As a bonus, we’ll show how the same connection can power lightweight applications and dashboards using tools like Streamlit, making it easy to share insights interactively. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how Python bridges the gap between raw data, analytics, and accessible apps.
Lightning Talks:
Lightning talks are talks up to 5 minutes in length on any topic that might interest other Python people. See PyCon’s Lightning Talks description for more details.
