<p>Please keep in mind though that this post doesn&#8217;t endorse or means that PyCon APAC will accept any of the proposals we&#8217;ve received so far: That will be done by the Program Team based on the <a href="http://pycon.my/2017/02/25/speak-at-pycon-apac-2017/">CfP schedule</a> and will be announced on the 1st of August 2017.</p>
<h3>Data Science and Machine Learning</h3>
<p>Topics around Data Science and Machine Learning have the highest numbers of CfPs that we&#8217;re currently receiving. For example,</p>
<ul>
<li>Using Machine Learning in Structured Finance &amp; Insurance</li>
<li>Data Mining of News</li>
</ul>
<p>are some of the talk title that we have received. Coupled with the fact that Wes McKinney will be keynoting for us, there seems to be a strong interest in data science and analytics this year.</p>
<h3>Business Applications, Python Libraries and Best Practices</h3>
<p>After Data Science, Business Applications, Python Libraries and Best Practices topics are the second highest proposals that we have received so far. Titles like</p>
<ul>
<li>Write Elegant Concurrent Code in Python</li>
<li>Velocity. Agility. Python.</li>
</ul>
<p>Many people are keen to share how that have used python to get their jobs done and how it enriched their lives.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re still open for CfPs, so please send in one!</p>
