  • We are interested in different kinds of talks. At Pycon NG 2020, there will be tutorials and talks, you can submit proposals for either or both. Tutorials are like workshops focused on improving Python-related skills. They will be hands-on and engaging and will be allocated more time. Talks will take a presentation-styled method and, hence, will accommodate more variety of topic focus. Even if you are new at this, we encourage you to submit a proposal - this is an opportunity to gain experience.
