SUMMARY:The Austin Python Meetup
DESCRIPTION:**New location at Brazos Place @ 800 Brazos st. us the entrance on brazos street not 8th.**\nThis is a Hybrid event both **in-person** and virtual. The **in-person** event is hosted at **[Antler](https://www.antler.co/location/us)** downtown Austin. \n**Address:**\nBrazos Place @ 800 Brazos st\,\nThe entrance is off of Brazos st. \n**Talk: Alex Merced -** Python Meets Apache Iceberg: Exploring Different Ways to Work with Iceberg Tables with Python \n**Description:**\nDiscover how Python is becoming a powerful interface for working with Apache Iceberg tables. In this session\, we’ll dive into the capabilities of the PyIceberg library for directly interacting with Iceberg metadata\, demonstrate how to query Iceberg data using the `dremio-simple-query` client\, and explore how Dremio’s Polaris catalog enables a fully managed REST-based Iceberg experience. We’ll also preview how the upcoming **Pandas v3** release enhances native support for Apache Arrow and unlocks new performance and interoperability possibilities with the Iceberg ecosystem. Whether you’re building data pipelines\, exploring data science workflows\, or managing a lakehouse\, this talk will show how Python fits naturally into the Apache Iceberg journey. \n**Speaker Bio**\nAlex Merced is Head of DevRel at Dremio with experience as a developer and instructor. His professional journey includes roles at GenEd Systems\, Crossfield Digital\, CampusGuard\, and General Assembly. He co-authored “Apache Iceberg: The Definitive Guide” published by O’Reilly and has spoken at notable events such as Data Day Texas and Data Council. Alex is passionate about technology\, sharing his expertise through blogs\, videos\, podcasts like Datanation and Web Dev 101\, and contributions to the JavaScript and Python communities with libraries like SencilloDB and CoquitoJS.\n**Antler**\nAntler works with [founders](https://www.antler.co/location/us) through our signature founder residency\, adding value immediately\, and taking no equity up front. We receive over 160\,000 applications each year to build companies with us\, and have grown to 18 funds with residencies in 30 cities around the globe. Founders also have the opportunity to pitch our Investment Committee to receive an up to $500K investment\, allowing them to build for 12-18 months rather than attempting to raise before they have real traction.
