In my last post, PyBay2021 — Outdoors at SF’s coolest food truck park, I talked about our new conference format to combat online fatigue and isolation blues this year. But PyBay is not just about Pythonistas soaking up vitamin D and enjoying food and drinks with friends and co-workers. It’s also about exposing you to new developments in Python and lessons learned from other developers. We’ve got a great lineup of speakers and talks lined up this year.

Here’s a small sample of our talks and speakers for PyBay2021 Food Truck Edition:
- Building a database with Python with Yury Selivanov, founder of EdgeDB and Core Python developer on async/await and contextvars.
- Observable Python Applications with Moshe Zadka, contributor to CPython and founding member of the Twisted project.
- Managing the Test Data Nightmare with Andrew Knight, author of the popular tech blog AutomationPanda.com.
- Cutting edge hyperparameter tuning made simple with Ray Tune with Xiaowei Jiang, machine learning engineer at Anyscale, and previously at Google and Uber.
- IDOM — it’s React, but in Python with Ryan Moorshead, contributor for Jupyter and IPython and a software engineer at Amazon.
- Descriptors are like Ninjas with Madelaine Boyd, founding engineer at Bit.io.
- Keeping things Simple — From Simple Webapps to Enterprise Python with Robert Jackiewicz, staff engineer at Carta.
- Polyglot Design Patterns for the Adventurous with Kevin Jones, NGINX evangelist and Blockchain ninja.
We’re amazed at the quality of talks received within a week of our call for talk proposals. It wasn’t an easy decision for the content team and we will be meeting again this week to finalize the line-up. We’ll also be funneling some talks to Bay Area meetup groups, SF Python and Bay Piggies, in the coming months.
