PyCon US 2020 Is Here: Life Is Short, Why Not Learn Python Online?

Under the epidemic, more and more conferences are moving online. Recently, the United States Python Developer Conference (PyCon US) will also kick off online. What are the highlights of this conference, how to participate in it, and what help can it bring to Python users?

That’s right! Another great online conference, this time it’s the Python Developer Conference — PyCon US 2020.

PyCon US 2020, originally scheduled to be held from April 15 to 23, canceled its offline arrangements and switched to sharing speeches, tutorials, posters and other content online.

Original price: $400, no extra charge

PyCon US 2020 was originally scheduled to be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. According to the previous agenda, the conference included training courses, conference speeches, sprint camps and other contents.

However, as the epidemic in the United States worsened, PyCon, which was expected to attract more than 3,000 people and had a ticket price of $400, was finally forced to cancel and switch to a free online exhibition.

The conference speeches and other content will be released in the form of videos on YouTube. Starting from April 15, updates will be made every month.

Posters and item displays will be presented in digital form on the official website.

Super Neuro has also organized an online live exchange group this time. Do you want to learn and communicate together? The way to join the group is at the end of the article. Bring your stool and look forward to the start of the conference!

More than 100 speeches, super comprehensive sharing

PyCon contains a lot of useful information, and the more than 100 keynote speeches are full of highlights: covering multiple topics in the Python field and involving in-depth sharing from multiple dimensions.

There are research-oriented ones, such as Ray, a system for high-performance, distributed Python applications, which will introduce applications that scale from laptops to clusters.

There are also application-oriented ones, such as "Speech Recognition with Python", which will show how to use Python to enhance the interactive experience of Alexa, Siri, and Cortana.

"Moving Large Projects to Python 3", which focuses more on methods and techniques, will introduce how to migrate project codes with minimal cost.

A more detailed list of speeches can be found at the following website:

In addition to the hardcore speech content, the conference also includes lightning speeches, training courses, theme summits, sprint training and other links.

PyCon takes off around the world

PyCon is one of the most prestigious and well-respected conferences in the Python community. As the Python language becomes more and more popular, PyCon is also going global.

It was first held in the United States in 2003, and was later introduced to many countries. Currently, more than 30 countries have held localized PyCon.

These conferences, mostly initiated by the Python community, aim to increase Python's exposure, promote its popularity and use, increase communication within and outside the community, and allow more people to benefit from it.

PyCon entered China in 2011, with the first PyCon China held in Shanghai, and has grown steadily since then, setting up sites in multiple cities every year.

For this online live exchange, we also invited a great friend from the Chinese Python community to watch the live broadcast with everyone:

Auntie: The most loyal contributor in the Chinese Python community.

Since co-founding CPyUG (China Python User Group) in 2004, we have been making various attempts to promote/practice Pythonic in China.

She has hosted the PyCon China conference for four consecutive years and is recognized as the "Auntie" (Zoom.Quiet).
