Workshops
Workshops and tutorials (including a Django Girls workshop) will run on all five days of the event. Django Girls is a free one-day web programming workshop for total beginners.
In the workshop, you’ll learn the basics of web programming using Django, the free framework that’s behind hundreds of thousands of websites, including huge projects like Instagram and Pinterest.
Django Girls is a hugely successful world-wide project that has introduced thousands of women and girls to programming; it has run at PyCon UK since 2015.
Talks
Talks will take place in multiple parallel sessions, on every imaginable Python-related topic, from Saturday to Tuesday.
Lunchtime sessions
We’ll have a jobs fair, where you can meet our sponsors to find out about the positions they’re offering, and poster sessions.
Code sprints
Code sprints for a large number of popular Python open-source projects will run on Wednesday.
Evening Events
Each evening at City Hall there’ll be Python-related social events: a board games and manual technology night, a code dojo and a Python music evening.
Dinners
There’ll be a conference dinner on Saturday, and several dinner options at The Clink, our favourite Cardiff restaurant.
