SUMMARY:Agentic Forecasting Bootcamp: Call for Participation Info Session
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nForecasting in the Agentic Era: This bootcamp explores how LLMs and agents can act as forecasters by integrating structured data with rich signals from unstructured data such as news\, social media\, policy announcements\, earnings reports\, or environmental context. Participants will build and backtest forecasting solutions by extending provided reference implementations for built-in datasets. Participants will also evaluate the value of agentic forecasting compared to statistical and ML methods. \nJoin us at our Call for Participation Info Session to learn more about our upcoming Agentic Forecasting Bootcamp\, taking place Summer 2026. \nThis program provides teaching on state-of-the-art methods\, ready-to-adapt reference implementations\, expert technical guidance\, and hands-on support to accelerate your implementation timeline. \nAgenda: \n\nProject Introduction and Technical Overview\nBootcamp Timelines and Structure\nParticipation Requirements and Registration Process\nNext Steps and Q&A\n\nDisclaimer: This event is open to Vector Sponsors\, select FastLane companies\, and invited health partners only. Any registration that is found ineligible will be asked to provide verification and\, if unable to do so\, will not be able to attend the event.
