Watching the Talks

All talks will be streamed via an unlisted stream on the PyTexas YouTube channel. This link will be provided the day of the conference, prior to the start of the event. Comments on the video will be disabled, and we will ask all attendees to interact within the Discord server.

Interacting with Other Attendees

We encourage you to interact with your fellow attendees! Networking at conferences is half the fun! ALl attendees, in-person and virtual, have access to the Discord server. There is a #conference-chat text channel in the PyTexas Conference section that should be used for conference related discussions. There is also a #random channel for you to use to discuss anything and everything (so long as it is within our code of conduct.)

Please keep all discussions appropriate and in accordance with our Code of Conduct

Asking the Speaker Questions

This year we will be using Slido to ask the speaker questions. Slido allows you to submit your question and up-vote other questions you'd like to hear the answer to.
