PyCon India

About project

PyCon India is India's largest gathering of Programmers for the Python programming language.

PyCon India 2023, Hyderabad

Roles and Responsibilities

Thanks to the Wuhan virus, PyCon 2020 and 2021 were online conferences. PyCon 2022 did not happen. After four years, PyCon India is back to its offline, in-person conference from 29 September to 2 October 2023.

I was the CFP workgroup leader and core group member this time.

In addition to this, on the conference day, I was executing the following roles:

Registration Desk for attendees briefly.
Session monitor in Auditorium on day 3 of the conference.
Session chair at various tracks throughout the conference.
