Hi, this was such a delightful post to read. Im currently a comp sci college student and I had no clue there was even an event called pycon lol. But reading your blog makes me think it was so much fun. Quick question, is there a criteria to attend the event such as part of a specific company or organization? Or is it for anyone who uses python?

Glad you enjoyed it! Anyone can attend PyCon US. There are people from all walks of life and skill levels. If cost is an issue, PyCon US has a generous financial aid program. A caveat: some prospective attendees in other countries have difficulty getting visas.

Anyone can attend, but not everyone can afford to (is not free, you have to buy a ticket plus all the travel expenses).

That’s why many who attend do it by convincing their company to pay for the the trip and the ticket

There's a generous travel grant program to help people attend who might not be able to afford to otherwise.
