News

Everyone, no matter their job, age, background, or level of experience has something interesting to share. Even you! You've developed a technique, or discovered a library, squashed a bug or solved a problem. Whatever it may be, PyGotham 2019 wants to hear your story. Won't you share it with us?

The EuroSciPy meeting is a cross-disciplinary gathering focused on the use and development of the Python language in scientific research. This event strives to bring together both users and developers of scientific tools, as well as academic research and state of the art industry. EuroScipy will accept three different kinds of contributions: Regular Talks, Hands-on Tutorials and Poster.

There are many reasons why you should submit your proposal to PyCon Africa. You could talk about new and cutting edge uses of Python programming, or features of well-known tools. You could also tell us real-world Python use cases, as well as presenting your own industrial or research Python-powered project. As long as the presentation is interesting and potentially useful to the Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the program.
