This presentation will also discuss best practices, versioning, and how to document and share your file and folder convention using a README file.

=== Introduction to containers with Apptainer ===
ICT 102, 2:30PM - 3:20PM by Tannistha Nandi

Make your research workflows reproducible through the power of containers. We will go through in detail how to run containers on ARC using Apptainer.

=== Managing scientific software with Conda ===
ICT 102, 3:30PM - 4:20PM by Dmitri Rozmanov

Running customized scientific software on a shared HPC environment may be challenging. This session, we will go over how to set up customized software environments using Conda.

=== Prefect for Research Workflow Development ===
ICT 102, 2:30PM - 3:50PM by David Deepwell and Pedro Martinez

Modernize your research workflows using Prefect, an open source workflow orchestration tool. We will show how you can build and deploy resilient workflows and workflow pipelines.

=== AWS ===
==== AWS: Inspiring the art of the possible ====
ICT 102, 1:30PM - 1:50PM by AWS

Learn what is possible on AWS Cloud for research.

==== AWS: How AWS works with Researchers ====
ICT 102, 1:30PM - 1:50PM by AWS

AWS has many programs to support researchers such as credits, letter of supports, immersion days, working on proof of concepts. In this session, we will cover how we engage with researchers and what programs are out there to help accelerate your research with the AWS Cloud.

==== AWS: Machine learning with low-code workshop ====
ICT 102, 1:30 PM - 4:45 PM by AWS

The Machine Learning (ML) journey requires continuous experimentation and rapid prototyping to be successful. In order to create highly accurate and performant models, data scientists have to first experiment with feature engineering, model selection and optimization techniques. These processes are traditionally time consuming and expensive. In this workshop attendees will learn the following:

* How the Low-Code ML capabilities found in Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler, Autopilot and Jumpstart, make it easier to experiment faster and bring highly accurate models to production more quickly and efficiently
* How to simplify the process of data preparation and feature engineering, and complete each step of the data preparation workflow
* Understand how to automatically build, train, and tune the best machine learning models based on your data, while allowing you to maintain full control and visibility.
* Get started with ML easily and quickly using pre-built solutions for common financial use cases and open source models from popular model zoos.
