PyCon introduces poster sessions

This year PyCon is introducing Poster Sessions. Poster sessions provide an alternative presentation mechanism that facilitates more one-on-one communication between the presenter and the audience. Poster sessions are particularly suited for topics of interest to a subset of the community, and we anticipate these sessions will provide an "incubator" for further discussions. For more information on poster sessions, see the Poster Questions and Answers

Important Dates

• Call for Proposals opens: October 20, 2009
• Proposal submission deadline: December 14, 2009 (if it is still December 14th somewhere in the world, it is still before the deadline.)
• Proposal acceptance: December 21, 2009
• Poster session at PyCon in Atlanta: Feb 21, 2010

No Automatic Speaker Registration Or Payment

PyCon is a volunteer-run, "everybody pays" community conference. We keep the costs low to make PyCon accessible to the greatest range of community members possible. This means that PyCon cannot offer payment or free registration to conference speakers. Conference registration, accommodations, and transportation are the responsibility of the speakers.

However, financial aid will be available, and speakers who pay their own way are encouraged to apply. Giving a talk is a great rationale when requesting aid. If you require financial aid in order to attend PyCon, please note it in your proposal and be sure to apply.

Permission to Record & Release Presentations

Part of the motivation for PyCon is to help with Python education and advocacy around the world, not just in the United States, and not just at PyCon. Accordingly,by submitting your poster proposal, you agree to give permission to the Python Software Foundation to record, edit, and release audio and/or images and video of your presentation.

To cut down on administration, no exceptions will be made. If you don't want to give the PSF permission to record your presentation and release the recording, do not submit a proposal.

For details, see the Recording Release Agreement.
