There will be at least two short talks/discussion topics, however the primary objective is to socialise/network with other people using Rust. It's a very casual event to get the ball rolling for a user group.

One by Phillip Young https://linkedin.com/in/phillip-young-8231b04/ , Engineering Manager at franklin.ai, who has managed several Rust projects about the challenges involved.

The second talk by John Vandenberg https://linkedin.com/in/jayvdb/ , Senior Software Engineer outlining various approaches of using Rust with Python.
