Today I did some "community organizing" task related to an event, and by "organizing" I really mean copy pasting from pretalx CFP platform to spreadsheet to docs and then to email client, and it makes me mad.
Last week I spoke to @djangonaut space on why spreadsheets is not the way to manage a conference. I know a lot of other conferences are relying on Spreadsheets too.
Watch this talk to hear me rant about it (and how #PyLadiesCon plan to address it)
Living up to my 2025 motto: No more spreadsheets!
I got to speak to @djangonaut yesterday about this very topic. Can't wait to share more publicly about what we're up to with #PyLadiesCon.
Stay tuned for the video recording.
🌟 A Big Thank You to the Python Software Foundation! 🐍💖
We’re excited to recognize the Python Software Foundation as a Special Sponsor of #PyLadiesCon 2024. Your support has been key in helping us host a global, free event dedicated to empowering women in the Python community.
Thank you for helping us make PyLadiesCon 2024 a success! 🌍✨
We've sent out certificate of participation to all PyLadiesCon attendees, volunteers, and speakers.
The certificate is a small token of appreciation that doesn't take a lot to create, if you know how to code in Python.
If you run an event and also want to send out this kind of certificates to your attendees, check my blog post to learn how.

PyLadiesCon Certificate of Attendance Not sure how common is this practice of giving out certificates to conference attendees. I’ve been attending mostly Python-related conferences in North America, and we don’t usually get any certificates here. However, when I went to Python Brasil in Manaus 2022, they gave me a certificate of attendance. And as a conference organizer, occasionally I’d receive request from a few attendees and volunteers about such certificate, saying that their employer or school requires it as proof of attendance.
