The PyCon US Blog

It’s another year, and that means it’s time for another PyCon US. This event offers an opportunity to bring together a vibrant and diverse community of engineers, data scientists, researchers, students, and enthusiasts who use the Python programming language for work and for fun. It also presents a unique opportunity to highlight entrepreneurs building the future of the Python ecosystem. 2024 marks the thirteenth year that PyCon US has invited early-stage companies to present their ventures on Startup Row. Tools and platforms like Pandas, Plotly, and more—now fixtures of the Python software ecosystem—were built by companies that were featured on Startup Row. And with each new year there’s an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what’s next.

PyCon Development Sprints are up to four days of intensive learning and development on an open source project(s) of your choice, in a team environment. It's a time to come together with colleagues, old and new, to share what you've learned and apply it to an open source project. It's a time to test, fix bugs, add new features, and improve documentation. And it's a time to network, make friends, and build relationships that go beyond the conference. PyCon US provides the opportunity and infrastructure; you bring your skills, humanity, and brainpower (oh! and don't forget your computer).

PyCon US 2024 will kick off later this week. Our staff members are all busy with the final preparation, and we know that many of you are packing and traveling to the conference too.
