Dask is a framework for distributed computing that can scale pandas workloads in a distributed environment. This talk will start with an overview of the pandas 2.0 release and where pandas is headed in the future before diving into Dask DataFrames.

We will look at the core concepts of Dask DataFrames based on some examples.
