PyLadies × R-Ladies Vancouver Lightning Talks
PyLadies Vancouver and R-Ladies Vancouver are teaming up for a night of lightning talks: short talks from speakers in both communities. Come for a fast, friendly mix of Python and R, ideas, tools, and stories, all in bite-sized form. Please sign up on Luma so we know to expect you: https://luma.com/3gsm7kqq 📢 We're looking for speakers! We're looking for short presentations, 5 to 15 minutes long, from speakers in either community, PyLadies or R-Ladies. • Beginners especially encouraged. A lightning talk is a great first talk, and great practice before a conference. • Never done public speaking? We'd love to debut you and help launch your speaking journey. • Yes, you can reuse a talk you've given elsewhere. New members may not have heard it. • Python or R, plus adjacent technology topics. When we polled our last meetup, people asked for: AI/ML and LLMs, web development, data science,Python internals, testing and tooling, and live coding. • Not sure your topic is interesting enough? Let us be the judge, sign up with your idea. New to the format? Our lightning guide covers what a lightning talk is, how to prepare, topic ideas, example talks to watch, and common questions. Sign up to give a lightning talk. Free to attend. We're run entirely by volunteers, so donations are always appreciated and help keep our meetups free and welcoming: https://psfmember.org/civicrm/contribute/transact/?reset=1&id=60 Everyone is welcome. This is a joint event with R-Ladies Vancouver. PyLadies events follow the PyLadies Code of Conduct. If it's your first R-Ladies event, please review the R-Ladies Global Code of Conduct. Both communities share a focus on supporting women and gender-diverse people in ourfield.
