Have you heard about PyBay? It’s the regional version of PyCon, the always-sold-out national Python conference our friends at SF Python is producing. It’s an amazing get together of the most knowledgeable speakers and practitioners within the Python ecosystem, all under one roof, sharing their knowledge for a few days. Best yet, people you meet are likely from SF Bay Area, too, so it’s easier to continue with the new friendships you’ve made. Check out the highlight video from prior years.

Early bird passes go on sale this Tuesday, April 23, at 9am PDT.

Cheers and see you at PyBay 2019!
