Abstract

Join us for a keynote Q&A panel featuring some of the foundational names in Python, as they discuss how the language went from a side project in Amsterdam to powering AI at the world’s biggest companies.

Alongside the panel, we’ll be showing clips from the long anticipated “Python: The Documentary”. Featuring Guido van Rossum, Travis Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, this upcoming full-length documentary traces Python’s slow-but-steady rise, its community-driven evolution, and the language’s impact on... well… everything.
