One perk of being #PyConUS chair is that I get to pick the volunteer gifts.
I was struggling with how to sincerely thank all the volunteers this time around so I've decided to go the hand-made route. Hopefully, all the volunteers will enjoy it! 🤞

This will be my first time speaking at PyConUS, so I'm also a bit nervous 😅

#PyConUS tip: a nice new boutique hotel with balcony rooms available, basically just across the street from the venue, is actually working out as _cheaper_ nightly than the Marriott's reserved conference block rooms are!
I had been planning to switch my housing reso anyway just to get a balcony […]
This year I was asked to join the Program Committee for #PyConUS and I put together some thoughts on the process and advice for people proposing talks. If that's you, I hope this helps.

If you are thinking about attending #PyConUS and the reason you're unsure is the cost, I recommend applying for a travel grant. If you're not applying because you think your employer _might_ pay, you can still apply and decline or withdraw if they agree to pay.

If you are keen to attend #PyConUS but it seems out of reach for financial reasons, consider applying for a grant.
Application deadline: 25 Feb!
I'd love to see more of the African community there and taking part.

in other #PyConUS random thoughts: I assume being LA means there will be a lot more outdoor seating at food/drink places…but also the outdoor seating will be in demand, instead of largely available for us covid-cautious folx (in places where May isn't necessarily fantastic weather)
possibly-crap-air-quality hotel closer to venue?
better-air-quality hotel farther from venue?
unaffiliated cute modern boutique hotel that only lets you book <3mo out?
…comedy option of the "bed & breakfast" at the marina where the rooms /are friggin boats/? 🤣

#PyConUS registration booked. 👀
