The annual showcase event welcomes CDT PhDs, supervisors, partners and stakeholders and aims to highlight our collective achievements and inspire our future direction. We will present the “what”, “how”, and “where” of Distributed Algorithms and share a variety of experiences of past, current and future data challenges and solutions.
