PyData Motto

“PyData is the home for all things related to the use of Python in data management and analysis. It brings together Python enthusiasts at all levels and includes tutorials and talks from practitioners as well as advanced talks by experts and core library developers. The conference focuses not only on the application of data science tools but also on underlying algorithms and patterns. We aim to be a community-driven, non-commercial, open and accessible conference.” ~ PyData
