Overview
The Python Software Foundation is the nonprofit steward of the Python programming language and a central hub for its global developer community. PyCon US is its most important annual gathering and a critical source of revenue that supports grants, education, and open source investment. Going virtual after the cancellation of the 2020 conference meant the event needed a platform capable of delivering a career fair, workshops, sprints, networking, and conference sessions under one roof.
