Hi Vijay, As requested, I here by confirm that I and Chirag(copied) have got access for PyCon India social media accounts (i.e. Twitter & Facebook). Note - At the moment in social media workgroup, only I have editor access to PyCon India Facebook page. So to avoid dependency later I'd request few more guys to be added as well. Thanks, Sanchit

Convince My Boss - Convincing made easy
by Vipul Gupta June 10, 2018

June 10, 2018

Hi folks, A few weeks ago, I proposed having a new section called "Convince My Boss" in this year's PyCon India 2018 on the Discord channel. I have been working on the same. Here is the first draft [1]. For people who don't know, Convince My Boss is a section which I thought could be a great new addition from this year's PyCon India. *Convince my Boss* is a letter template aimed at helping professionals to make their case so that they could attend the conference. It presents all important conference highlights and advantages in great detail. Helping in *convincing* the bosses to have the person attend it. I have noticed the same, at other conferences too that happen around the world. I think it could be a great addition for this year and subsequent year's PyCon. Any suggestions and queries are much appreciated !! Cordially, Vipul Gupta Mixster <https://mixstersite.wordpress.com/> | Github <https://github.com/vipulgupta2048> [1] - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xnhADIxh3fvdXr4m7CFpjZCd9jtx8lAogn7_nBC…
