hills next to breadcrumb illustration
Warning — Beware of Housing Pirates! PyCon and our registrar, Conference Technology Enhancements (CTE), have learned that attendees and exhibitors have been contacted by a third party agency urging them to book accommodations for the conference through them. Please be aware that this is a scam, as these rooms are usually offered at higher rates, are non-refundable and/or carry a significant cancellation penalty. CTE is the only official housing agency for PyCon. Neither CTE nor PyCon is calling delegates to sell rooms. If you are contacted by an agency other than CTE offering to make your hotel reservations, we urge you to not use their services. We cannot protect you against them if you do book a reservation. PyCon and the PSF is not responsible for any hotel reservations made outside of the official housing bureau. Only book hotel reservations through our registration site to ensure you receive the conference rate and are guaranteed a hotel room.
