About the PyParis Conference
Mission
The PyParis conference is a gathering of users and developers of the Python programming language.
The goals are to provide Python enthusiasts a place to share ideas and learn from each other about how best to apply the language and tools to ever-evolving challenges in the vast realm of application development, scientific computing, data analytics, education, cloud, devops…
We aim to be an accessible, community-driven conference, with tutorials for novices, advanced topical workshops for practitioners, and opportunities for package developers and users to meet in person.
A major goal of our conference is to provide a venue for users across all the various domains where Python is currently used to share their experiences and their techniques, as well as highlight the triumphs and potential pitfalls of using Python for certain kinds of problems.
PyParis 2018 is organized by Systematic Paris Region, with the generous help and support of our sponsors.
