Five years ago he attended his first PyCon US and hasn't been able to break the habit; after making the jump from audience to stage in 2014 and speaking regularly at events around the world, he was thrilled to join the team when invited by Chris and Josh. Sam currently works at Nuna building healthcare data infrastructure for the U.S. Medicaid and Medicare programs and resides in Oakland with his husband Kameron.

North Bay Python is seeking speakers of all experience levels to contribute to our second conference program! If you use Python professionally, as a hobbyist, or are just excited about Python or programming and open source, we'd love to hear from you.

### The North Bay Python 2018 CFP is open!

+ **July 5**: CFP opens

+ **August 10**: CFP closes

+ **Week of September 10**: Acceptance notifications sent

+ **Week of September 17**: Speaker confirmations due; program finalized and announced

+ **November 3–4**: Conference happens!

## Speaker Benefits

**All speakers will receive complimentary registration to the conference, and requests for further financial compensation to assist with travel will be considered on a case-by-case basis independent of the proposal's merits.**

North Bay Python is a conference in support of the local programmer community outside of the core San Francisco Bay Area tech scene. We aim to feature a mix of local and non-local speakers to offer a program with broad appeal.

## Audience

We anticipate more than 300 attendees at our 2018 conference. In 2017, we had 230 attendees from California and beyond, including:

+ 78% from the San Francisco Bay Area, including 25% from Sonoma County

+ 5% from elsewhere in California

+ 17% from other US states, and internationally.

30% of attendees were women or non-binary.

Our attendees range in experience from students and new graduates, through to career professionals with more than 30 years in the industry. Our professional attendees work in many roles, including software engineers, CTO-level executives, DevOps engineers, data scientists, front-end engineers and mobile developers.

48% of our attendees had never attended a Python-focused conference before North Bay Python. 15% of our attendees made North Bay Python their first tech conference.

**Most of the talk slots will be short**—approximately 25 to 30 minutes, including Q&A if desired. If your ideas would benefit from a longer slot, please explain in your submission how you would use the additional time.

Our office hours will be held twice every week **Wednesday at 7pm** and **Friday at 3pm** Pacific Time starting July 11 and finishing August 10. We'll be holding them on IRC, a chat protocol, in the #nbpy channel on the Freenode network. New to IRC? You can use [this web client](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23nbpy) to connect.

  North Bay Python 2018 is coming, and with it: more Python. We'll add satellite events and more to this page as details are available.
