We are going forward with BIEC as the venue. Based on the number of
talks, keynotes, 3 days is the optimum so the days for the conference.
The conference dates for PyCon India 2018 would be 29th, 30th, 31st of
August 2018.

If you have comments, please share by tomorrow 30th Nov 2017, before
the Volunteers meeting.
