Agenda:

7 - 7:15 p.m.: Announcements and introductions

7:15 - 8:30 p.m.: "Going to Conferences on a Budget" by Kojo Idrissa, a software engineer at REVSYS.
In-person conference attendance can be very beneficial, but it also presents a multivariate problem as far as logistics and expenses. I'll discuss existing conference options, and share things I've done to reduce the costs of attending conferences. Specifically, I will:

• review the costs of attending PyCon US in Cleveland (2019), PyCon US in Salt Lake City (2022) and PyOhio
• share projections for PyCon US in Pittsburgh in 2024/25
• discuss cost-saving opportunities

In my experience traveling as the DEFNA North American Ambassador, I've had to figure a lot of these things out. Now I'll pass my insights along to you. Hope to see you at a conference in person!

8:30 - 8:45 p.m.: Door Prizes

8:45 - 9:00 p.m.: Networking & General Discussion
