Caktus is Sponsoring PyOhio 2012

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:44:24 +0000

Caktus is proud to announce that we are a sponsor of this year’s PyOhio conference taking place in Columbus, Ohio on July 28th and 29th! This is the 5th year for this regional conference and each year it continues to grow in size and scope. A great perk about PyOhio is that all of the talks are released for free online and also there is no charge to attend the conference. It is great to see more regional Python conferences throughout the nation and we are very excited to be a part of this growing trend. I will be attending the conference on behalf of Caktus, so make sure to seek me out and say hi, I will be wearing a Caktus t-shirt and would love to speak with you about what we do and of course any neat projects you’re building or working on in Python!
