About us
PyData Sofia Meetups are monthly events organized with the purpose to meet and talk about Python, Data Science, AI and other interesting topics. The format revolves around one talk and a few hours of networking. We believe that discussions are key to the development of specialists in our areas and direct talks to peers bring a lot of value. As a meetup, we strive to build an inclusive environment where everyone is free to join, not only as a member, but as a speaker as well. We invite everyone, including first-time speakers, students, junior engineers, to share with the community their ideas, knowledge but also problems and questions.
About PyData:
PyData is an educational program of NumFOCUS, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States. PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices, new approaches, and emerging technologies for data management, processing, analytics, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R.

PyData Sofia Meetup November 2026
SiteGround HQ, ж.к. София парк Младост, ул. „Олимпийска“ 6, Sofia, BGHave you ever wanted to create your own AI agent that can do certain tasks for you ? If so, come and join us on Nov 3, 2026 for a walkthrough on creating an AI agent. (Important: The event requires a mandatory registration)
Large Language Models (LLM) have gotten really good at doing tasks - fetching information, processing it, and taking action on behalf of the user. This allows us to create an agent that can solve a specific task - write code, create images, or just give you guidance on how to cook a good meal.
In this meetup, we will see how to build an agent that can analyse images, search the web and still be up for a chat. We will start this from scratch, using the agent platform Agno. The task to solve will not be a simple or a trivial one, so make sure to not miss this event.
After the agents starts working, we can have a quick chat and enjoy some drinks and food (provided by SiteGround)
