PyCon India is a conference run with contributions from volunteers and supporters from the community. Hence, as organizers, we provide multiple avenues for people to contribute to the event. People can contribute their time by volunteering in various conference activities. People can also make a financial contribution by purchasing a contributor ticket.
Contributor tickets help us meet the expenses of running the conference and reduce our dependence on sponsors in the long run. People who purchase a contributor ticket will be credited in our blog towards the end of the conference.
