+## Session: Data preparation with Docling
+
+### About
+
+When building machine learning applications, a significant portion of your time will be dedicated to data wrangling - starting with content extraction from various documents like PDF, DOCX ..etc.
+
+Docling is an open source, versatile document processor that handles various file types.
+
+In this session, I will introduce Docling and walk through some its core features.  And will show a demo (attendees can run it alongside)
