Want more in-depth conversations with data enthusiasts? Check out upcoming events with our Silver sponsors:

EdgeDB is an open-source database designed as a spiritual successor to SQL and the relational paradigm. It aims to solve some hard design problems that make existing databases unnecessarily onerous to use.

Powered by the Postgres query engine under the hood, EdgeDB thinks about schema the same way you do: as objects with properties connected by links. It’s like a relational database with an object-oriented data model, or a graph database with a strict schema.

EdgeDB has just launched 2.0! Watch their series of talks on launch day and learn more about this amazing graph-relational database.

Anyscale is a unified compute platform that makes it easy to develop, deploy, and manage scalable AI and Python applications using Ray. Ray is the fastest growing open source project in distributed AI; it lets developers easily convert existing Python applications to run on any and all available compute processors in parallel. From a laptop to the cloud, without the cost of complex infrastructure, Anyscale empowers developers to effortlessly develop and scale their end-to-end AI lifecycle into production, faster and at lower costs.

Register now for Ray Summit 2022 in San Francisco on August 22–24. It’s the Industry Conference for Scalable AI and Python Applications.

EdgeDB, Anyscale and another Silver sponsor Deepnote are exhibiting at PyBay2022 also 🙌

YES! I want to get a ticket to PyBay2022 Food Truck Edition

Want to exhibit at PyBay too? Sponsor us at the Gold or Silver level, there are two table spaces left 😘

An epic outdoor conference made even better

You’ve probably heard on Michael Kennedy’s Talk Python podcast that PyBay2021 Food Truck Edition was easily the best day for many Pythonistas in 2021. 🎉

Together with 2022’s sponsors and speakers, we’ve made our 7th annual PyBay conference even more epic. We can’t wait to talk Python with you at the new normal.

Grace and your dedicated team of volunteers at PyBay2022
