PyDelhi Conf 2023: A Journey of Inspiration and Learning
Technology conferences have always been a wellspring of inspiration and knowledge, and the PyDelhi Conference held at the University of Delhi campus on August 19th – 20th, 2023, was no exception. A couple of us from the Python competency team of TO THE NEW had the privilege of attending this remarkable event. The event comprises industry veterans, college students, and software professionals from the NCR region.
The conference was a melting pot of insights, experiences, and knowledge-sharing, featuring a wide array of sessions that covered diverse topics such as Generative AI, data processing, Python web development, IoT software, and much more. Notably, the event also drew the participation of senior professors from Delhi University, who enriched the discussions with their invaluable insights.
Our Lightning Talk: Logging in Python
During the “Lightning Talk” segment, I had the opportunity to present a talk on a subject close to our hearts – “Logging in Python.” The aim was to shed light on how we can effectively utilize JSON as a log output for Python web applications. It was an engaging experience, sharing practical knowledge and best practices with fellow Python enthusiasts.
Networking and Reunions
The essence of conferences often lies in the informal interactions that take place during meals and breaks. At breakfast and lunch sessions, we had the chance to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds, forging new connections and sharing insights about our organization and the projects we are currently working on.
As a delightful surprise, we crossed paths with two of our ex-colleagues during the event. It was a heartwarming moment, reminiscing about old times and catching up on our respective journeys. Towards the end of the conference, we exchanged contacts, reaffirming our desire to stay connected. We also expressed our gratitude to all the organizers for their selfless efforts in putting together such an enriching event and pledged to reunite for the next iteration.
In Conclusion
The PyDelhi Conf 2023 was more than just a conference; it was a gathering of like-minded individuals passionate about Python and its applications. Our lightning talk on Python logging was a small contribution to this vibrant community, and our interactions during meals were a reminder of the power of networking and the joy of rekindling old friendships.
As we left the event with a wealth of new knowledge and connections, we looked forward to the next PyDelhi Conference, where we would once again come together to celebrate our shared love for Python and technology.
