A Platform for Sharing and Exploring: BoFs and Poster Sessions at PyCon India 2023


As the anticipation for PyCon India 2023 builds, so does the excitement of connecting with fellow Python enthusiasts and sharing our passions.


Birds of a Feather (BoF) Sessions: Embracing Open Discussions


Much like the vibrant diversity of bird species, PyCon India showcases the beauty of 'Birds of a Feather' – where Python enthusiasts from various backgrounds gather to discuss their common passions or interests without a pre-planned agenda. BoFs are a space to exchange ideas, share personal experiences, and learn from one another in a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere. They provide a platform for lighthearted discussions and deep dives into technical subjects alike.

BoF sessions last an hour and are a delightful mix of seriousness and fun. BoFs can be serious, and a great way to gather the people from the community in a common space to deep dive on a topic, but they can also bring opportunities to learn while having a lot of fun! At this year's conference, we will be having a specially planned BoF on Python IDE’s.

If you're passionate about something you like to share and explore with the community, why not propose a BoF session? As a moderator, you'll guide the discussion, ensuring everyone's voice is heard.

Propose a Birds of a Feather Session now!!

**Please include a brief description of the BoF and potential panelists in your proposal.

  • BoF Session CFP closes: 19th August 2023


Poster Presentation Sessions: Visualizing Ideas, Fostering Connections


Are you excited about showcasing a Python project, idea, or concept?

PyCon India 2023 is bringing you a creative avenue for just that with Poster Presentation sessions. These sessions are a canvas for creativity, covering everything from hardware projects to niche topics.

PyCon India 2023 will be having a Poster Presentation session on both conference days in the second half - Between the second and third Keynote. During the poster presentation session, you will be provided with a poster board that can hold an A0 size poster, and a table to place your laptop, for demos. Conference attendees interested in your topic will stop by, during which you can give them a brief presentation/demo.

What makes a good poster?

Here are a few tips for creating the poster:

  • Ensure that you select a good title. Conference attendees will use it to determine which posters to attend.
  • While textual representation is good, graphical representation will attract more eyes
  • Make sure the contents are properly sized and spaced in the poster so that it is viewable from decent distance
  • Provoke the reader's curiosity which will open up space for further discussions
  • Provide links for the attendees to know more about the topic and connect with you / the community
