You can also opt for a talk which is 30 minutes long. Such talks should typically discuss how to do a certain thing related to Python in a concise way.

We will be providing a buffer of 5-10 minutes between talks so that the presenters get sufficient time to prepare for their talks. However, you should plan and pace your talk so as to leave sufficient time (upto 10 minutes) at the end of the time for audience questions.

  3. Category Indicators - Choose one or more category indicator tags for your talk
    • (For example: "packaging", "mobile", "web" etc).
  4. Level – Indicate the level of Python knowledge of the intended audience namely Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. If any specific knowledge or skills are required or beneficial, indicate that (For example, "exposure to network programming").
  5. Summary – A brief summary of the talk in no more than 100 words.
