Since #PyOhio 2026 wrapped up, the organizers have been spending time reflecting on the event, but several of our attendees have shared some reflections of their own, and we wanted to share some of those (in no particular order)! #Python #Conference

We would be remiss if we didn't give a special shout out to our Videographer for #PyOhio 2026, @elainew.bsky.social. Elaine stepped up for us in a pinch - without Elaine's help, we would have no recordings of our talks this year. Sincerely, Elaine, Thank You! 🙏 #Python #Conference #ThankYou

I firmly believe that conferences can provide a lot of value for people in an industry. Conferences allow people to create a network, which helps them feel integrated in a community and profession....
