PyCon

PyCon refers to a series of conferences held worldwide for the Python programming language community.

These events are primarily organized by volunteer-led local Python communities with support from the Python Software Foundation (PSF). While each PyCon has its own unique characteristics, they all share the core mission of fostering knowledge sharing, learning, and community building.

PyCon events typically feature keynote speeches, tutorials, workshops, and presentations covering various Python-related topics. The conferences welcome participants of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced developers, creating an inclusive environment for everyone interested in Python.

These conferences serve as vital platforms for community engagement, technical education, and networking within the Python ecosystem. Many PyCons offer financial aid programs to ensure broader participation and accessibility. Details about upcoming conferences and registration information are available at pycon.org.
