PyCon Israel 2024 Tickets are now available

by News and announcements from PyCon Israel

PyCon Israel is happy to announce that ticket sales are now open, but before you go there, a few words of explanation. We have always strived to keep PyCon Israel ticket prices low, to make it accessible to a wide audience. In all of the past years, the ticket price was far below the conference costs per attendee (PyCon Israel is run by volunteers, and was never intended to make a profit). But most of the tickets ended up purchased by companies for their employees, which meant that the conference was subsidizing these companies (with volunteer work and sponsor money). This never seemed right to us. We’ve tried to make cheaper tickets available by request, but that didn’t work – nobody asked for them until the “regular” tickets were out. So this year, we’re trying a different way. We have tickets for employees, at a price that reflects actual costs to the conference, and tickets for individuals, at a more accessible price point. We hope this is not abused, so we can keep the lower price available for individuals. One more point – as usual, the workshops are on a separate day, at a different place; workshop tickets are not valid for the conference talks day, and vice versa. Now, go grab your tickets at https://ti.to/hamakor/pycon2024 !

PyCon Israel agenda published, and other news

by News and announcements from PyCon Israel

Hi there, PyCon Israel Followers! A lot has happened in the last few weeks, and we want to make sure you know. First, the thing many of you have been waiting for -- this year's agenda is out. You're welcome to check it out at https://pycon.org.il/2024/pages/schedule.html#schedule This agenda is the result of long hours of work -- by the submitters, the reviewers, and the conference team. The agenda includes an opening panel, 27 talks and five workshops. We believe it reflects our commitments to excellent content and to the local community. Following the release of the agenda, tickets should be out for sale later this week. Second, we have been running "side operations" -- a set of smaller events where we reach out to contribute from our experience. You can read about the on-site event we held at Ben Gurion University, and the on-line event we are holding next Sunday, in our blog: https://pycon.org.il/2024/first-pyconil-meetup.html#first-pyconil-meetup https://pycon.org.il/2024/pyconil-career-workshop-2.html#pyconil-career-wor… And, oh, since we mentioned it in passing, we have a blog: https://pycon.org.il/2024/blog_index.html#updates Looking forward to see you at the conference, Shai, for the PyCon Israel Team.
