The solution presented in this talk demonstrates that a more practical estimation of arrival times can be provided by exploiting the leaf nodes on tree-based models combined with a network model. The talk will also cover how to prepare training and test data to minimize data leak. It will demonstrate the details of quantifying the stability metric and optimizing the algorithm for the appropriate ratio of accuracy and window. This approach led to a gain in accuracy and proven efficiency in stable planning.

The Why: A novel machine learning approach to predict arrival times for unusual events, and how to quantify its effectiveness for stable planning.

Key Takeaways:

• How to use real-time feature engineering and handle its challenges.
• Unconventional integration of machine learning and network models
• Designing right metrics and KPIs for arrival time predictions

This session is for… Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Product managers, Business Analysts.

The Why: High-growth companies are becoming increasingly reliant on data and data analytics teams to analyze and inform their business. As this reliance on data grows, the demand for data experts skyrockets. With this in mind, it is crucial that organizations are able to optimize for strategic hires with diverse perspectives.

Key Takeaways:

• Defining your tech and organizational strategy to prioritize strategic hires
• How to approach diversity and inclusion when building these teams
• How to drive data-enabled business growth and the right data-driven culture within the company by leveraging analytics, data science, and machine learning

This session is for... you if you are interested in the future of data analytics and how to hire a well-rounded, diverse data team.

Because the need to belong is universal and fundamental, focusing on it has the power to draw in the entire workforce, even those who might feel excluded from — or threatened by — current DE&I directives.

Psychological safety at work doesn't mean that everybody is nice to each other all the time. It means that people feel free to "brainstorm out loud," voice half-finished thoughts, openly challenge the status quo, share feedback, and work through disagreements together — knowing that leaders value honesty, candor, and truth-telling, and that team members will have one another’s backs. It is an atmosphere in which people fearlessly engage, question, experiment, and deliver value rather than fearing, blaming, and spending time protecting themselves. In this workshop, you'll develop skills for growing psychological safety in yourself, your teams, and your organization.

The Why: Organizations that focus on creating environments centered around promoting psychological safety see increased employee retention, improved productivity and performance, greater creativity and innovation and an elevated employee experience.

So, who is responsible for creating such safety? All of us! When we model and cultivate psychological safety, we enable greater transparency, closer relationships, improved collaboration, and better outcomes.

Key Takeaways:

• Creating psychological safety in your teams during uncertain times
• How to lean into your authenticity as a leader
• Providing your team with the tools to show up in strength and confidence
