Love PyCon? Join Raymond Hettinger, Alex Martelli, Luciano Ramalho at PyBay SF

I participated last year's PyBay 2016 and it was a great all around event. May of us had a great time chatting out with with Armin Ronacher (Flask creator) in the lobby area of the UCSF conference center. You never know who you meet and have a chance to interact. In the conference I met a few people whose libraries I have been using for years..

Pretty impressive talk list indeed - and with Raymond Hettinger Keynoting. Love that guy!

This is going to be awesome! And you can also combo with DjangoCon that's going to happen right after (short plane trip apart). The lineup looks great!

This will be my second year attending - personally looking forwards to Rachel Thomas' talk on speeding up linear algebra with randomized SVD.

I missed this last year, and I'm not gonna miss it again! great speakers and great community

Really looking forward to this, after having missed PyCon!
