Talks:

How to use Cursor as a professional. Cursor Rules - David Zorto

A different approach to AI-assisted development. Many engineers are misusing Cursor AI, treating it as just a search engine or IDE, but there's a better way. I'll show you how to harness Cursor’s full power by building an autonomous standard library of rules, fine-tuning outcomes, and exponentially accelerating development workflows. Expect real-world examples, and insights that will transform how you think about AI-driven software development.

Data-Oriented Django Drei - Adam Johnson Data-Oriented Design encourages us to focus on the data transformations occurring in our code, so we can write code that maps them onto hardware efficiently. Building on my previous two talks at DjangoCons Europe 2022 and 2024, this “third part” will reintroduce Data-Oriented Design and then focus on database indexes. We’ll see how they work, what options you have, and how to select the right ones to build for your applicaxtion. The aim is to empower you to write indexes that make your queries zoom, using the tools Django provides.

Want to share your Django or Python knowledge? We’d love to feature your talk! Just fill out our speaker form to propose a talk!

Data scientist is now the highest-paying job for students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the United States and is projected to grow from a $133.7 billion market in 2024 to a $276.18 billion market by 2029. However, experiences with data are rare in today’s K-12 classrooms and curriculum. This conference will introduce K-12 students, educators, and parents to foundational data science concepts and examples of data science careers across industries with a combination of workshops and presentations, divided into three levels for age-appropriate content. *K-12 educators and parents are encouraged to attend!*

THIS CONFERENCE WILL BE MULTI-TRACK:

⭐ GRADES K-4 📊

• FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS: Establish intuition and core ways of thinking about and visualizing data

⭐ GRADES 5-8 💻

• TOOLS & TECHNIQUES: Focus on platforms and tools that support data analysis and bring insight

⭐ GRADES 9-12 🚀

• BECOMING A DATA SCIENTIST: Learn what it takes to be a data scientist -- including skills, training and education

⭐ K-12 EDUCATORS 👩🏽‍🏫

• WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, & WHY: We'll incorporate presentations, panels, and other hands-on sessions that are specific to K-12 educators
