02/25/2025, 4:04 PMHello! I just got invited to the Open Data Science Conference for a virtual event focused on time series on March 13th. They want a 30-min talk "focusing on key concepts, research findings, or industry applications." Seems pretty broad.
They specify that: "The session must not be a sales/product pitch or used as an opportunity to promote a specific product, service, company, or organization unless explicitly approved by ODSC in writing. ODSC reserves the right to reject, interrupt, or cancel any session or workshop that violates this term."
Is it okay if I participate? Anything in particular I should cover or not cover in that kind of session?
@Mariana Menchero, you have experience with that, I might ask you a lot of questions 😄
