Help Publicize PyCon

PyCon 2009: Chicago

PyCon is the largest annual gathering of the Python community in the world. PyCon is really three events in a row:

  • Tutorial Days: Wednesday March 25 & Thursday March 26 (2 days of tutorials this year instead of 1!)

    Learn something new and relevant in intensive 3-hour sessions. The evenings are free for socializing and Open Space.

  • Conference Days: Friday March 27 through Sunday March 29.

    See what's going on in the Python world, meet your fellow Pythonistas, share your knowledge and experience, make contacts, brainstorm projects, discuss prospects... the sky's the limit.

    • Scheduled talks will happen in the ballrooms. 4 tracks of talks and panels on a wide variety of topics will be presented, with something for everyone. Also we'll have keynote talks every day.

    • Open Space sessions

    • Lightning talks are quick 5-minute talks that you can sign up for at the conference. In a word, lightning talks are FUN!

    • Expo Hall: Meet with representatives of companies using Python, supporting Python, and hiring Pythonistas. Snag some swag!

      Many sponsors will be recruiting, so come prepared with business cards and résumés if you're in the job market. You can also check out the Python Job Board for listings.

    • And don't forget the hallway track!

  • Development Sprints: Monday March 30 through Thursday April 2.

    Help advance your favorite project, including Python itself! We provide the space and the infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs), you provide the enthusiasm and the brainpower. All experience levels welcome. The sprints are free!
