Attendees can expect an intensive schedule built around in -depth discussions\, collaborative problem-solving\, and practical experie nce sharing focused specifically on integrating Rust into Python projects and the development of high-performance Python tools (e.g.\, using technol ogies like PyO3\, Maturin\, or writing performant native extensions). The goal is to move beyond introductory concepts to tackle real-world challeng es\, performance optimizations\, and best practices in production environm ents. This summit is designed for developers who already possess some prac tical experience in these topics and are looking to deepen their expertise \, share lessons learned\, and contribute to the community's collective kn owledge.\n\n# Keynote Speaker\n\nThis year we have invited [David Hewitt]( https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-hewitt/) to join us.\n\nDavid is a freel ance software engineer with a mission to connect the Rust and Python softw are ecosystems. He is a leading maintainer of PyO3 and has spoken at both Python and Rust conferences about how the interop between the two language s works and his vision for its future. He has worked with companies in sec tors including finance\, energy and techonology on both proprietary and op en-source codebases. David can be found streaming open source development on YouTube\, most recently in a collaboration with Petr Viktorin to furthe r native UTF-8 support for Python.\n\n# Agenda\n\nThe following agenda is subject to changes.

However\, its interpret ed nature often poses a performance bottleneck for computationally intensi ve tasks common in High Performance Computing (HPC) used in scientific and data work\, such as large-scale simulations\, complex data analysis\, and machine learning model training. \n\nEnhancing Python's performance\, the refore\, is critical for scientific computing: it allows researchers and e ngineers to maintain the productivity and flexibility of the Python enviro nment while achieving the necessary speed and scalability to tackle demand ing\, real-world HPC problems without needing to switch to lower-level lan guages entirely.\n\nIn this talk\, we will review the current state of Pyt hon in HPC\, examine the role of key libraries like NumPy and Dask\, and s ee how to use PyO3 to create robust Rust bindings for Python in a way that simplifies the process of building and distributing packages. We’ll exp lore how Rust brings specific advantages to HPC\, including guaranteed mem ory safety without garbage collection\, zero-cost abstractions\, and true parallelism.\n\nAttendees will leave with a clear understanding of the 'wh y' and 'how' of leveraging Rust in their Python-based HPC workflows\, posi tioning them to develop faster\, safer\, and more scalable computational c ode.
