[Conferences] Queries regarding PyCon event

[Roy Hyunjin Han]

Hi Bipal,

Additionally, here is a list of best practices and tools for hosting a
virtual event in case you are unable to host in-person conferences next
year.

   - https://www.acm.org/virtual-conferences
   - https://www.python.org/psf/grants/free-resources/

Step 1: Form a team and assign roles
Step 2: Find a venue -- for the first event, we recommend collaborating
with a local university to minimize expenses
Step 3: Draft a code of conduct (links to examples should be in
https://github.com/python-organizers/conferences)
Step 4: Prepare a sponsorship prospectus (links to examples should be in
https://github.com/python-organizers/conferences)
Step 5: Find sponsors

The hardest part of your work will be in finding sponsors for your event.
You will need to start early and give yourself ample time for all parts of
the event planning process. Ideally, you should collaborate with a local
Python user group (if you have not already started one) as they will be the
primary source of speakers and volunteers for your first event.

Is there a local Python user group in Nepal?
