Hello all, Apologies for crossposting. - Melissa Weber Mendonça Scipy 2020 Diversity Committee Co-Chair ===== SciPy 2020, the 19th annual Scientific Computing with Python conference, will be held July 6-12, 2020 in Austin, Texas. The annual SciPy Conference brings together over 900 participants from industry, academia, and government to showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and developers, and collaborate on code development. The call for SciPy 2020 talks, posters, and tutorials is now open through February 11, 2020. Talks and Posters (July 8-10, 2020) In addition to the general track, this year will have the following specialized tracks, mini symposia, and sessions: Tracks High Performance Python Machine Learning and Data Science Mini Symposia Astronomy and Astrophysics Biology and Bioinformatics Earth, Ocean, Geo and Atmospheric Science Materials Science Special Sessions Maintainers Track SciPy Tools Plenary Session For additional details and instructions, please see the conference website. <https://www.scipy2020.scipy.org/> Tutorials (July 6-7, 2020) Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or advanced Python programmers develop better or faster scientific applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50% of the time for hands-on exercises even if this means the subject matter needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected level of knowledge of your students (i.e., beginner, intermediate, advanced). Instructors of accepted tutorials will receive a stipend. For examples of content and format, you can refer to tutorials from past SciPy tutorial sessions (SciPy 2018 <https://na-admin.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=735095&e=amlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==&l=https://www.eiseverywhere.com/emarketing/go.php%7CQ%7Ci%7CE%7C735095%7CA%7Ce%7CE%7CamlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==%7CA%7Cl%7CE%7Chttps://www.youtube.com/playlist%7CQ%7Clist%7CE%7CPLYx7XA2nY5Gd-tNhm79CNMe_qvi35PgUR>, SciPy2019 <https://na-admin.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=735095&e=amlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==&l=https://www.youtube.com/watch%7CQ%7Cv%7CE%7CZB7BZMhfPgk%7CA%7Clist%7CE%7CPLYx7XA2nY5GcDQblpQ_M1V3PQPoLWiDAC> ) and some accepted submissions <https://na-admin.eventscloud.com/emarketing/go.php?i=735095&e=amlsbGNAZW50aG91Z2h0LmNvbQ==&l=https://github.com/scipy-conference/scipy-conference/tree/master/data/tutorial_submissions>.
