Today is mostly a jet lag recovery day 😴

I went to the conference venue to pick up my badge while tutorials and sponsor talks were already running, and I already met and greeted some of the first people here.

The conference hasn’t officially started yet, but the Django/Python community atmosphere is already everywhere ✨

Currently following the D&I panel at PyCon US 2026: “Python is for Everyone — Growing the Community Without Limits” ✨

Really interesting discussion around community building, inclusion, education, and local Python communities from different parts of the world.

Panel with Débora Azevedo, Alla Barbalat, Georgi Ker, Theresa Seyram Agbenyegah, and Abhijeet Mote.

If you've been coming to #PyConUS for a few years (or more!), you know how much this conference can mean to our community. This year, we welcome you to volunteer for a couple of hours and help make the magic real for someone else 💖

Sign up today ➡️ https://us.pycon.org/2026/volunteer/volunteering/

hey folks,

we're super short on volunteers tomorrow (May 15) at #PyConUS. We're seeing 50% empty shifts for green room volunteers, session runners and chairs.

If you have a talk session to wish to see tomorrow, why not double up and help out by being a session chair for that time?
