Technology, Bombay (IITB) <http://www.iitb.ac.in/>`_ in Mumbai,
Maharashtra India.

At this conference, novel applications and breakthroughs made in the
pursuit of science using Python are presented.  Attended by leading
figures from both academia and industry, it is an excellent
opportunity to experience the cutting edge of scientific software
development.

The conference is followed by two days of tutorials and a code sprint,
during which community experts provide training on several scientific
Python packages.

We invite you to take part by submitting a talk abstract on the
conference website at:
