While the preparations are under full swing to celebrate the 10th year anniversary edition of PyCon India and make the event a grand success, here's a chance for you and your organisation to make it even better!
The entire organising team and the community at large are extremely thankful to all the sponsors who have supported us throughout out the years. It is no secret that without your support, we wouldn't have been able to even think about taking the conference to bigger and better heights with each and every year. Many of you must already be eager to come forward and book your slot, but here's a bit more information and incentive so as to why you should consider sponsoring:
Stand out among the attendees by prominently displaying your products and marketing material.
Instead of spending a fortune on traditional advertisements, take a look at our reasonably priced sponsorship slabs and pick one - letting you be discovered and known to the cream of the community at maybe half (or even less!) of your marketing budget.
The conference has a history of attracting smart folks from various backgrounds and also of making matches between them and potential employers. Get connected, make your pitch and find the best programmers to join your ranks!
Establish your goodwill and show the community that you’re a reliable partner, willing to support the ecosystem. Sponsorship is a way of giving back to the community and thanking them for their support. Your sponsorship helps PyCon India remain affordable and accessible to the widest possible audience.
To make PyCon India affordable to small businesses and startups, we provide a 50% discount for the Gold, Silver and Associate sponsorship slabs. Note: In order to avail this discount, your organization must have been established not more than two years ago, with fewer than 10 current employees.
Have something specific in mind? Please don’t hesitate to ask! We are more than happy to work with you and tailor sponsorship benefits to suit your needs.
Interested in getting involved? Checkout our sponsorship prospectus right here.
If you have any queries whatsoever, please don't hesitate to reach out to sponsorship@in.pycon.org
This blog post is old. There has been a change in PyCon India 2018 Location. The Announcement can be found in this blog post.
A decade of unity in diversity presents - the 10th year anniversary edition of PyCon India!
While a walk down memory lane would be apt at this point, let's keep the long story short for now by saying we've done it! A conference started by volunteers, handed and taken over from one group to another, from one city to another, we start drawing another arc of the full circle this year when the conference reaches back to its city of origin - Bangalore.
The Conference will be from August 22nd (Wednesday) to 26th (Sunday).
We're moving to an even bigger and better venue this year - The Bangalore International Exhibition Centre. It can take in a lot more people, has more halls for multiple tracks, allows for easier movement between them and is generally a whole lot bigger than all the other venues we've had so far.

As you might have guessed, the discussions and preparations are under full swing already. While the conference along with the participation has evolved and grown significantly over the years, none of that would've happened had we not pushed to excel ourselves every single year. With that spirit, and a whole lot of energy, let's look at a few things we're introducing this year.
There hasn't been a better time in history for the young ones to learn and play with programming. With an eye into the future, this year we intend to have a dedicated Kids' Track where we welcome them, teach and let them build stuff over the days of the conference.
While we already had Poster Sessions once before, it was only for a short 30 minutes. Since it was received very well, we're planning to have it again this year; probably with more time and incentive for the presenters to get involved.
This is exclusively to help potential job seekers to find an opportunity at the conference. The idea is to have a dedicated booth/stall to collect resumes and contact information of those who want to get discovered by potential employers and make a match between them. The finer details are yet to be finalised, but we've received requests for the something of the sort over the years and we're sure it'll help quite a few people.
That's about it for now!
In case your organisation is interested in meeting one of the most enthusiastic Python crowds in all of India, be sure to checkout the sponsorship details. Not only would you have access to meet these people face to face, but you will be helping the community as a whole by supporting the conference financially and making sure we can accommodate the widest possible audience.
For you budding speakers and teachers out there, prepare yourself mentally and watch this space for the Call For Proposal announcement. We want to see your proposals and we encourage people from all walks of life to submit talk/workshop proposals despite your age, gender, experience and/or background. No one became an expert overnight. So seize the opportunity and let's get you on that stage.
Now the question is...
