Talk recordings and workshop materials from posit::conf(2024)
posit::conf(2024) wrapped up in August, but the learning doesn’t stop here! Thanks to our inspiring speakers, expert workshop instructors, and dedicated TAs, we’ve gathered a wealth of resources for you. Find over 30 hours of great content covering the tidyverse, tidymodels, RStudio, Shiny, Quarto, machine learning, AI in data science, package development, use cases, and so much more. There’s plenty to explore and learn!
Talk recordings
Keynote and talk recordings are available on YouTube.
Explore talk titles, speakers, and abstracts in the table below, built with the new reactable-py package by Michael Chow!
