The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led PyCon APAC to adopt a virtual format, attracting around 200 participants globally. The conference spanned two weekends and four days, emphasizing tutorial sessions and panel discussions on pertinent Python issues.
Leveraging on virtual conference, we managed to curate an esteemed lineup of international speakers, notably the eminent Python creator, Guido van Rossum, along with representatives from the Python Software Foundation and notable experts in the Python communities.
In a strategic move towards broader community engagement, this edition of PyCon MY marked the initiation of a collaborative partnership with Kinabalu Coders, further enhancing our commitment to impactful community outreach initiatives.
