Hello everyone! Introducing next among our Keynote Speakers for 2024! She hails from the Moon, the Stars and the Cosmos! That shouldn't be surprising when someone is a fan of both Star Wars & Star Trek and describes themselves as an explorer. However, while her training with lightsabers and battles against the Borgs seem to have contributed to her becoming a Martial Artist, it only takes so much of her time that among many other things, she is a co-organizer of PyLadies Chicago as well. The list of "many other things" that you can find on her website [1], truly is inspiring considering the one thing we all have in common as human beings, is a ticking clock. A lover of cats, a runner of marathons, you can see how "live long and prosper" is not just a dialogue from a series, but a motto that she lives and breathes by. A firm believer of anti-racism, diversity & inclusion in technology, she is always happy to have a chat around any of these topics. She is.. Lorena Mesa! A Former Chair & Director of the Python Software Foundation, we are enthralled and excited to have her as a Keynote Speaker at PyCon India this year. Get to know her better at her website [1] and find her at her Mastodon [2]. Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible.
