I am attending JulaCon this week. If anyone notices any talks that look interesting to people here happy to be steered…

Sessions: [JuliaCon 2026 :: pretalx](https://pretalx.com/juliacon-2026/schedule/)

I am giving a few talks and currently hacking them out using seabbs-bot (i.e. these will evolve more): [JuliaCon 2026](https://samabbott.co.uk/JuliaCon2026/)
