# ResCompLeedsCon 2022

## Premise

Let's run an internal conference showcasing all the amazing research computing (HPC and non-HPC) that happens at Leeds!

## Structure

### Overview

- 2 day conference on campus, with a mix of posters, workshops and talks. 
- Would want someone along for an exciting keynote. 
- We'd have some nice buffet lunches, coffee and biscuits, 
- probably either run two-streams or just a single stream of activities.
- Aim for July/August ?

## TODOs

- Make a nice page for the website
- Make a sign up sheet for talks, posters, workshops
- Advertise, advertise, advertise

## Dates

Tuesday and Wednesday
- 12th and 13th July

## Agenda

### Topics

#### Talks

Unsure if there should be topics or just open to talk submissions and group post facto

- Surveys and data collection
- Machine learning and AI
- PhD student showcase

#### Panels

Could do a panel, could do career talks?

- What is research software engineering?
- Is python the king of research computing languages?
