PyGotham Talk Proposal Brainstorming Night
Details
Have you ever wanted to submit a conference proposal but didn't know where to start? Join Learn Python NYC for an evening of proposal brainstorming!
PyGotham (https://2018.pygotham.org/) is NYC's very own annual Python conference and is a great place for both first time and veteran speakers. The goal is to get you thinking about potential talk topics and how to construct a proposal that will make the organizers sing with joy!
The first part of the evening will be a panel made up of current and former PyGotham organizers, and we'll have a structured conversation about what makes a good proposal and how to brainstorm one. The second part of the evening, we'll break into small groups and draft up our very own proposals, with a little time at the end for sharing our proposals with the crowd.
Submit your talks at https://www.papercall.io/pygotham-2018 !
