PyConZA 2018

PyCon ZA 2018 Venue

PyConZA 2018 will take place at The Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg North, Johannesburg on the 11th & 12th of October, at the Atrium conference centre.

This year, the tutorials will again be held on the day before the conference (the 10th of October). This will allow for longer and more in-depth tutorial sessions.

There will also be various other Python-related activities around the conference.
