Talks
Technical talks are the most important event at PyCon India, the core of the conference essentially. Talks are short lectures (30 min slot) supported by a presentation. Speakers come from the Python community.
Talks are selected through a CFP (Call For Proposals) process. Interested members of the community propose their talks. An editorial panel designated by the organizers makes the selections.
The list of selected talks is available from https://in.pycon.org/cfp/2019/proposals/#proposals
Lightning Talks
Lightning Talks are a series of short 5 min talks. Please see the schedule for Lightning Talk slots. Registration for lightning talks happen on the day of the conference, just come prepared with a topic that you would like to share with the rest of the attendees. Since there will generally be more no. of registrations than the available slots, there will be a selection process. You will be notified if you are talk gets selected.
Poster Session
Posters are graphical summary of projects or ideas. They are usually presented with an A0 size poster, but any creative ways are always welcome. The poster session provides an opportunity to network with the conference attendees and acts as a starting point for further discussions. While talks generally needs to appeal to a wide section of the community, posters can cover niche topics.
PyCon India 2019 will be having a poster presentation session at post lunch, day 1. During the poster presentation session presenters will be provided with a poster board that can hold an A0 size poster, and a table to place their laptop, for demos. Conference attendees interested in the topic, will stop by, during which a brief presentation / demo will be provided by the presenter.
Community Spaces
Local Python user communities and other meetup communities have been the backbone of PyCon India, since its inception. Keeping this in mind, this year we are providing space for communities to promote themselves and to present their work, through community posters.
The poster session will be a 1-hour post lunch session on the first day of the conference. There are no other parallel tracks scheduled during that slot. Apart from the regular technical posters we will be having community posters, as well, as part of the poster session.
If your community would like to take part in this please submit your proposal at https://in.pycon.org/cfp/posters-2019/proposals/ Indicate the "Proposal Section" as "Community", while submitting your proposal.
Openspaces
What is an Open Space?
While there are the regular talk tracks, where the majority of the
participants will be present, there is always a need for breakout
discussions, impromptu talks, BoF sessions, etc.
In view of this, PyCon India has always provided an openspace for this
purpose. This year will be having 3 rooms dedicated for openspaces,
each with the following capacity.
- 90 Seats
- 40 Seats
- 20 Seats
These rooms will be equipped with projectors and whiteboards, to
facilitate presentation and discussions.
Apart from these rooms, there will be tables and whiteboards provided
along the lobbies for people to utilize for discussions.
How to register?
Registration for openspaces happens at the venue. But it would be good
idea to submit your proposal earlier on, so that any special
arrangements if required can be made before hand.
Here are some guidelines:
* Allowed time openspace for each slot is 15 / 30 / 45 minutes.
* Reach the talk arena, 5 minutes before your talk starts.
* Please specify your requirements for the talk in CFP
description.
There is no screening process, for openspaces. Openspace slots are
provided on an FCFS basis.
Devsprints
PyCon India is a place for developers from across the country (and beyond) to get together and celebrate Python. But what good is a PyCon without getting your hands dirty writing some code? Hence, for all Open Source enthusiasts out there, the PyCon India team is happy to announce Devsprints @ PyCon India 2019.
During Devsprints, mentors/contributors of OSS projects guide participants through the end-to-end process of OSS contribution, right from setting up build environments, to developing and testing code, to submitting patches for bugs. If you are stuck, mentors are all available to help you figure out issues and get you back up and running! From past experiences, we’ve seen a lot of people start off contributing to OSS through Devsprints and later go on to become regular contributors to various projects across the web.
If you are a contributor or have been involved in maintenance of any Open source project, please come forward and add a project. This project can be any interesting Open source project which is based on Python. Ideally, you should have a history with the project through previous code commits. Your responsibility will be to help your team set up their development environment, list out beginner friendly bugs, and guide them on any problems they face during the event.
Any maintainer is welcome to add a project. There will be no shortlisting of projects. We are using the CFP platform to make it easier to manage and keep the projects at one place.

Workshops
Workshops are an important part of the PyCon India. Hands on learning is as important as talks for a fulfilling conference experience. Like talks, workshops are also conducted by the members of the Python community.
Each workshop is 2.5 hours duration. There are a total of 6
parallel tracks, with two workshops in each track, one in the morning
and one in the afternoon. You can attend a maximum of two workshops,
morning and afternoon.

Attending Multiple Workshops
The ticketing platform is designed to allow booking of only one
morning ticket and one afternoon ticket. But if you are booking
tickets in two separate purchases, ensure that you are not booking two
workshops in the same session i.e. two morning or two afternoon.
Attending Workshops and Devsprints
It might be possible to attend one workshop and the devsprints. If
you book two workshops, you will be able to attend the devsprints only
on the second day.
