Hi, hope you had a great Labor Day break.

I want to thank everyone that has submitted talk(s) for PyBay this year,
we’re amazed at the quantity and quality of submissions within a short
week.

Here’s a small sample of our talks and speakers for PyBay2021 Food

   EdgeDB and Core Python developer on async/await and contextvars.

   Jiang*, machine learning engineer at Anyscale, and previously at Google

*Dig it?*

Let's take this moment to recognize our super diligent content crew: Xun
Tang, James Abel, Phebe Polk, Jeff Fischer, Karen Dalton, Chuck Chan.
They've worked tirelessly, some into the weekend, to arrive at this year's
talk list. We will be meeting again this week to finalize the line-up.
We’ll also be funneling some talks to Bay Area meetup groups, SF Python and
Bay Piggies, in the coming months.
We are also pleased to announce NGINX as a Silver sponsorNGINX, now a part
of F5, Inc., is the company behind the popular open source project, NGINX.
They offer a suite of technologies for developing and delivering modern
applications. Together with F5, their combined solution bridges the gap
between NetOps and DevOps, with multi‑cloud application services that span
from code to customer. Check them out at nginx.com

This year in particular, we are relying on sponsors in order to deliver the
best possible experience for our attendees, including A/V suitable for
outdoor conditions. NGINX's contribution made a huge impact but we can
benefit from more sponsors.
Please talk to your company and ask them to become a sponsor.

Sponsorship options include:

If your company wants to provide security guards to ensure Covid-19
compliance or to provide laptop and phone charging stations, we can make
that happen too. Visit pybay.com <http://www.pybay.com/> for more details.
Let’s create a better reality for Pythonistas in the San Francisco Bay Area
