Polars vs Pandas: Efficient Data Manipulation in Python

Pandas has long been the default tool for data manipulation in Python — but as datasets grow, performance bottlenecks become harder to ignore. At ODSC AI East 2026, 🐍 Matt Harrison, Python & Data Science Corporate Trainer and Consultant at MetaSnake, introduces a faster alternative built for modern workloads. In “Polars: A Highly Optimized Dataframe Library,” Matt walks through the core features of Polars and how it compares to Pandas for manipulating and analyzing large datasets. If you’re working with large-scale data in Python and looking for more efficient tools, this session offers a practical introduction to a dataframe library designed for speed and scalability. 📅 April 28–30, 2026 🔗 Register here: https://hubs.li/Q041d_Wd0 #ODSCAI #Python #DataEngineering #Polars #DataScience #DataFrames
