Share this: PyOhio Talks & Sprints on Python. PyOhio 2013 is July 27-28 at the Ohio Union. Save the Date! Just a reminder. PyOhio 2013 will be July 27-28, 2013 at the Ohio Union, in the same place as last year. Most of all, it will again be FREE for all attendees. PyOhio is an annual conference for the Python programming language, held on the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio. We are one of the largest Python conferences in North America, and the largest entirely free-to-attend Python conference anywhere. Interested in helping out? Join the PyOhio organizers list. We need folks to help with selecting talks, promoting the conference, chairing sessions, helping out the videography crew, manning the registration desk, and doing a whole bunch of little things to help the conference flow smoothly. http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pyohio-organizers We also should shortly be announcing the dates and procedures for talk submissions. Matt Wilson, who has given some of the most dynamic, interesting and informative talks over the years at PyOhio, is our Content Committee Chair this year. One of the things Matt would like to focus on is first time speakers. And PyOhio has always been an easy-going, welcoming environment for new speakers. So if you ever wanted to give a talk, but were a little to nervous to try, this is your year. This year, Chris Calloway will be running a Columbus PyCamp? in the week leading up to PyOhio. Early bird registration for PyCamp is already open. In Chris's own words: PyCamp unites with the sixth annual PyOhio conference! PyOhio PyCamp and the PyOhio conference happen on the campus of Ohio State University in the Ohio Union. Come to PyCamp week, learn Python, and stay for the free weekend Python conference. For beginners, this ultra-low-cost Python Boot Camp makes you productive so you can get your work done quickly. Conducted in a modern high-tech classroom, PyOhio PyCamp? 2013 emphasizes the features which make Python a simpler and more efficient language. http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/pyohio13 Our old site is up at PyOhio.org, but Luke Hatcher is spearheading the effort to bring us an all new site this year, which should ease the registration and talk submission/selection process. As soon as the new site is up, we'll send out an announcement. http://pyohio.org So come join us. Give a talk, help out, or just come and meet some great people and learn something new about Python!

Not only do we have a great line-up of speakers and topics, but there will also be a recruitment fair running in parallel with the event. The event brings together 300+ Python practitioners with a who's who line-up of speakers from the world of Python and finance: Travis Oliphant (Numpy), Wes McKinney (Pandas), Andreas Kloeckner (PyCUDA and PyOpenCL), Peter Wang (Chaco) ... the list goes on. I am also very excited to announce that Claudia Perlich, Chief Scientist at m6d, will be giving the keynote address to kick off the event; Claudia's list of achievements include being a three-time winner of the KDD cup, and numerous and notable contributions in the Machine Learning, Data Mining and Predictive Modeling worlds. It's going to be an informative, exciting and fun day of great speakers mixed with practitioners of "Python in Finance." I have managed to get some great sponsors for the event to keep the attendance fee at a rock bottom rate of less than three hundred dollars; not bad for an all-day event in New York City with lunch thrown in! And because of your contributions to the Python community, I have a special offer for you specifically; use the code "PYTHON_ORG" at www.python-in-finance.com and save a whopping $100 off.
