<p><span class="date">Wednesday, November 29, 2017</span>—The inaugural North Bay Python officially kicks off this Saturday, December 2nd at 10am Pacific Time. We are expecting gloriously California winter weather with a mixture of clouds, sunshine, and brisk temperatures.</p>
<p>Speakers and attendees are traveling from the UK, Mexico, and all around the United States to participate, with most coming from the West Coast. Attendees will enjoy 20 sessions, 2 keynotes, a smattering of <a href="/program/events">official</a> and <a href="/wiki/meetups/">unofficial side events</a> including a pre-event social, a speaker training, and a PyLadies lunch. A full listing of <a href="/program/events">events</a> and <a href="/schedule/">sessions</a> can be found on our website.</p>
<p>We hope those that aren't able to join us this year can participate next year–dates to be announced–and will enjoy the video recordings that we'll be posting to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLc1vUexbRTlRBJcUG9U6ug">YouTube</a> and the Internet Archive.</p>
