May 24, 2024 • Jesse Mostipak
Shake off those post-PyCon blues by adding our Open Science Fall Festival to your calendar!
You’re invited: pyOpenSci’s Open Science Fall Festival 2024
Happening September 28–29th, 2024, October 28th through November 1st, 2024, the pyOpenSci Open Science Fall Festival will be held entirely online, and be a fantastic opportunity to bring together members of the Python community that create open source, open science tools with the members of the Python community who use these tools. In building this festival, our focus is on a grassroots, community-led event with some big unconference vibes.
While we’re still ironing out some of the details, we know it’ll be a combination of talks, trainings, and opportunities to connect with the community through networking and social events. And we’re working hard to keep ticket costs as accessible as we possibly can.
UPDATE: Our pyOpenSci Fall Festival event page is LIVE! We’ll continuously be updating this page with event news and details.
