<font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" color="#333333"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Both the groups, in collaboration, have planned to conduct a two-day Python conference in Manipal. We aim to achieve a style similar to PyCon. There will be a total
of 10 speakers, over the course of two days. Each speaker will talk on a topic related to Python, and primarily focus on how they used it on a project they worked on. The goal of the conference is to expose the students to the versatility of Python and how
it is used in the industry.</span></font></div>
