Talks and Keynotes

PyCon India 2020 comprises of 36+ talks, and 6 keynotes. Since, the event is an online event, the team decided to take it global and reach to a wider audience which is impossible in a offline setting.

Schedule & Timing

PyCon India 2020 team to accomodate an international audience tried to find a time that suits speakers, or find a bit of overlap in their day.

The event starts at 12:00 noon IST and ends at 8:00 PM IST.

The Schedule lists all the selected talks which will be held within the core event time. It is possible that there would be few events that would be held outside the event timings. The schedule on the website contains just the talks, keynotes and the workshops.

Attendees when on the platform, Hopin can see a more detailed schedule which would list the events happening on the platform, for example, BoFs, refusals.py etc.

The team also provides with a Ical format for download and integrating with their calendar client. The team will also try to keep the Ical format updated.
