Following an amazing PyCon 2014 , the first of two years in Montréal, we're well underway with the planning efforts for PyCon 2015. The website is being prepped and as we get that going, we also begin the search for sponsors. The 2014 launch day began with 17 sponsors, and quickly grew to 128. Are you or your organization interested in being a part of an even bigger launch for the best PyCon yet? Sponsorship is what allows PyCon to do what it does. It enables us to fund programs like Financial Aid and subsidized child care , bringing more people to PyCon who otherwise may not have made it.

Our expo hall and job fair are a great place to make connections with over 2,000 Python developers. For more thoughts on sponsorship benefit...
