Python WA February Meetup

Welcome to Python WA's first 2026 meetup! We're kicking things off with a twist thanks to our friends at Bankwest, who are our gracious hosts for the month 🎉

• 5:30 - Doors open for guest registration (please bring valid photo ID to comply with Bankwests' building access security policy)
• 5:30-6:00 - Networking. Bar service and light refreshments provided
• 6:00-7:10 - Introductions, Bankwest and Python WA keynote speakers
• 7:10-7:40 - Networking

NB: Due to limited capacity, please RSVP and/or kindly update your availability (to give others an opportunity to attend should your attendance status change), by COB Tue 3rd Feb.
Bankwest and Python WA thank you for your cooperation and understanding 🙏

Please join Python WA's keynote speaker Adam Graham as he attempts to explain what Streamlit is while using an ill-advised re-invention of Powerpoint in... Streamlit, actually. Learn why Streamlit is pretty good for the *right* things, how you can make a web form with a pandas dataframe, discover that interactive maps are quite easy (but also hard), why you should NEVER use `st.rerun()`, and why using Python to write a highly constrained Typescript webapp is bad for maintainability!

Adam is an air quality data scientist with Environmental Technologies and Analytics. He uses Python for fun and profit and has a Graduate Diploma in Biostatistics. His credentials for discussing Streamlit come from the trial-by-fire search for the holy grail of 'user uptake' by his co-workers. He's still not sure what Spas have to do with apps and components, but he would absolutely download a Spa if he could. In a past life, he was a research biologist and science communicator.
He remains a committed bird nerd and maintains a neobrutalist website at https://adamdoescode.github.io/

Please stay tuned for more details on Bankwests' very own keynote speaker, coming soon!
TBA
