About us
Hello and welcome to PyLadies!
PyLadies Vancouver is a Python programming group for women in the Vancouver area. We welcome people who have never programmed before, experienced programmers, and everyone in between.
At PyLadies we welcome all women, inclusive of trans women. Further we would like to extend a special invitation to nonbinary folks, as many (but not all) of the oppressions facing women in our industry are also experienced by nonbinary individuals. Persons with any gender identity are welcome to attend our meetups, but should respect that PyLadies Vancouver is a place where women's voices are centered.

I Came for the Talks, I Stayed for the Volunteering Daria Linhart Grudzien, EuroPython Organizer and Former Site Reliability Engineer
Organizing a meetup or a conference can look like pure giving. Daria makes the case that it gives back more than it takes, drawing on six years of organizing Python conferences in Europe.Viy Maksym Shalenyi, Python Developer

## Cost
Free. When you get your ticket you'll see a "pay what you want" option with a suggested CA$10 donation. It's entirely optional, so if you can't donate, come anyway.
## Want to speak? We have room for more
We're still accepting talk submissions for this event. Lightning talks are 5 to 15 minutes, Python or R, from either community. It's the lowest-pressure way to get on stage: you explain one thing you know, and then you sit down. Beginners especially welcome, and you're welcome to reuse a talk you've givenelsewhere.
