BuzzConf is a conference by developers for developers thats explores the new horizons in computer science such as functional programming, distributed systems, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain and other interdisciplinary areas and brings them to a bigger audience.

The conference will take place the Thursday 26th of April in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The conference will be hosted at the Ciudad Cultural Konex (Sarmiento 3131).

Confirmed speakers (In the following weeks we will add more confirmed speakers)

1. Steve Klabnik, core Rust developer will give this talk: 'Shared mutable state is the root of all evil. Most programming languages deal with the "mutable" part, but Rust deals with the "shared" part. In this talk, Steve will show how Rust's unique type system prevents concurrency errors at compile time'

2. Andrea Leopardi, core Elixir developer

3. Christopher Meiklejohn creator of Lasp, a group of Erlang libraries to develop planetary scale applications. He will be talking about distributed systems

4. Ezequiel Garcia Linux Kernel developer

5. Juan Linietsky will be speaking about the development of an open source game engine called Godot

6. Alan Kharsansky and Santiago Buczak work at Satellogic building and operating nanosatellites. They will give a talked called "Beyond Cloud Computing: In-orbit Computing"

7. Mauricio Ferreyra, CTO of IncluIT, will talk about blockchain (not about cryptocurrencies) and his real experience using it for solving problems in banks

8. Diana Maffía, philosophy doctor, she will talk about science and gender

9. Gabriel Claramunt, CTO of a Scala shop called Scalents, will give a talk about functional programmingh, math and type theory called "The (un?) reasonable effectiveness of mathematics in computer programming"

10. Federico Leven, Lead Data Architect of ReactoData, will give a talk titled''Machine Learning on top of Hadoop and other flavors of Big Data"

11. Santiago Palladino, developer and security Researcher at Zeppelin, will give a talk titled "Crypto beyond currencies: building decentralized applications on Ethereum"

On Friday April 27th we will host a few workshops. The workshops will take place at La Maquinita (Lavalle 333) from 9 AM to 18 PM
