hey folks,

we're super short on volunteers tomorrow (May 15) at #PyConUS. We're seeing 50% empty shifts for green room volunteers, session runners and chairs.

If you have a talk session to wish to see tomorrow, why not double up and help out by being a session chair for that time?

Just got word from @encukou that #PyConUS for 2026 ended on May 19, 2026 at 20:30 PT.

For you new folks, the tradition normally is the conference ends when Larry Hastings leaves, but this year, he passed the torch to Petr.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who attended. This was a truly magical year and you made this happen.

Good morning and welcome to Day 1 of #PyConUS 2026!

Tutorials start today!

If you're looking for the registration desk, please enter the LBCC via the entrance on Pine Ave.

Also, if you need elevators to the entrance on Pine Ave, please look for the blue columns and the elevator is in there.

Just a friendly reminder that if you want sweet #PyConUS, #PyConCharlas and/or #pyladies t-shirts this year, you have to pre-order by April 14, 2026!

To add a t-shirt to your ticket, login to your PyConUS dashboard and t-shirts are under "Add to your Registration".

Charging my headphone and my phone so i can experience Pablo Galindo's keynote at #pyconus on Sat May 16 @ 9 a.m. with all the fun audio translation!

Want the best seat for the talk you’re most excited about?

As @jonafato
says: volunteer as a Session Chair. You’ll get the best seat in the room!

Volunteering is also one of the best ways to pay it forward at #PyConUS.

Community conferences run because people show up to help and volunteering is a wonderful way to meet folks, make friends, and connect with presenters.

Come help make PyCon happen. 💛

One of our attendees has misplaced their #PyConUS branded bag. Could you please take a quick moment to check the contents of your bag to make sure they belong to you? We'd love to reunite the missing bag with its owner. Thank you!
