<p>We're a nonprofit conference for professionals, enthusiasts and students alike. We're focused on inclusion, accessibility, diversity, and affordability. Most importantly, we're planning a great lineup of talks from all over the Python ecosystem, with plenty of time to meet new people and develop new ideas.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Our venue, the Mystic Theatre in Downtown Petaluma, is a beautiful example of an early 1900s Vaudeville theatre. You can find over 50 different food and drink options a short walk away, and the nearest hotel is only a block away.</p>

<p>Our goal is to keep prices as low as possible. That means we won't be catering lunch. Instead, you can look forward to extra-long lunch breaks you can use to explore all of the great food options around the venue.</p>
 

	
 

	
 
<h2>Petaluma, California</h2>
 

	
 
<p>North Bay Python's home is Petaluma, a delightfully quaint dairy town, nestled on a river at the southern edge of California's Wine Country. We've got beautiful scenery right on our doorstep, and we're less than an hour's drive from San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge.</p>
 

	
 
<p>The Mystic is not the only local example of early 1900s architecture, either: Downtown is full of great examples of Victorian-era buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake. Just down the road, you'll find the center of the maker movement and a thriving craft brewery scene.</p>
 

	
 

	
 
<h3>Getting Here</h3>
 

	
 
<h4>By Car</h4>
 

	
 
<p>If you're driving up, Downtown Petaluma is at exit 472 on Highway 101, 35 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. All parking is free in Petaluma, including in the undercover garages at Keller St and Theatre Square. Both garages are in short walking distance of the Mystic.</p>
 

	
 
<h4>By Bus</h4>
 

	
 
<p>Public transit to Petaluma is not great. You can take the 101 bus operated by Golden Gate Transit from downtown San Francisco, or south from Santa Rosa. Depending on sponsorship, we hope to run a free shuttle with BART and Caltrain connections for people from further out of town.</p>
 

	
 
<h4>By Plane</h4>
 

	
 
<p>If you're coming from out of the area, you may want to consider Sonoma County Airport (STS). STS is 30 minutes out of Petaluma, and has nonstop flights to most major west coast cities. If you can't make it to STS, you can also try San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) international airports.</p>

<h2>Travel and Accommodation</h2>
 

	
 
<h3>Staying Here</h3>
 
<p>The Golden Gate Bridge is seen by San Franciscans as being approximately 8,000 miles long and shrouded in fog, so few ever cross up into the North Bay. Happily, the drive north is easy and it can be swift. There are many ways to get to Petaluma, we've covered driving, public transit, and flights on the <a href="/attend/travel">How to Get Here</a> page.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Petaluma also has hotels! We're arranging deals with some of the best local hotels in the area &ndash; the closest is just one block away. We'll share details with you when conference tickets go on sale.</p>
 
<p>When you get here, you're sure to find a nice place to stay that fits your budget. You can find a range of options, and some special discounts, available on the <a href="/attend/hotels">Where to Stay</a> page.</p>
