At PyBay we celebrate the diversity and inclusion of the Python community. We believe a diverse community adds richness to the Python ecosystem. This year we have assembled a speaker lineup that includes ~33% from underrepresented groups, who will dive deep and advance your skills and knowledge. We’ve added even more events that encourage people from different backgrounds to meet, mingle and make close connections with each other.

Through individual and corporate donations we have helped 23 people who want to attend PyBay with scholarships and financial aid. Our next round of Diversity and Inclusion sponsorships go out 8/3. To apply for scholarships or the work-trade program visit us here. Or if you’d like to be a corporate sponsor or make an individual donation, learn more here. To get your ticket to PyBay2019 or to learn more, visit us at PyBay.com.

We’d like to thank all our Diversity and Inclusion sponsors and are happy to announce our newest sponsor Stitch Fix.
