PyMCon 2020 is an asynchronous-first conference. All accepted speakers will submit a video with their presentation ahead of time.We are looking for folks like you to share your cool tricks, best practices, general knowledge, or model build methods with the Bayesian community. Presentations should have some relevance to the PyMC community, more details on what we look for in a presentation and how to propose one can be found below.All presentations will be pre-recorded and will be shared on the PyMC discourse in late October for the async component. We are also planning a synchronous component on October 31st . Further details are below as well.This conference will have two tracks:a "Conjugate Model" track for folks just getting started out,and a "No U Turn Sampler" track for folks that are already warmed up with Bayesian Methods.First time speakers are welcomed and encouraged. Please feel free to reach out with questions about submitting a proposal, you can find us at the PyMC discourse.There are three presentation formats. The topics do not have to be about PyMC specifically but something the PyMC relevant. E.g. a new bayesian diagnostic would be acceptable :Talks30-40 min video about tricks, best practices, related library, etc.Tutorials60 min video + engaging exercises diving into a topic.Let's build a model45 min to 120 min video documenting how to build an example model using PyMC or associated library such as Bambi.

Check the website for the latest detailsDonation levelsAll ticket sales go directly to NumFOCUS and the PyMC project. Donations support the PyMC community and the ongoing research and development of open-source scientific data tools. Pick what you can afford. Consider donating extra if you like the PyMC projects!We have set some minimum donations depending on your situation with hopes of setting fair threshold for everyone:Student: $15 | Individual or Academic $45 | Corporate - Minimum: $100We ask that you consider donating extra and pick a price that is both fair for the conference and fair for youBelow is a rough plot of what we think will happen, using the Individual/Academic ticket as example:

We expect most people to be able to give a donation to PyMCon slightly higher than the minimum price we have set. We do not know if the peak will be at 1.5x or 2x the minimum, but we definitely do not expect it to be the minimum. We’re also hopeful a couple people will feel extra generous and contribute far towards the right! ! Lastly PyMCon donations are potentially tax deductible as NumFOCUS is 501c3 non profit organization. The tax implications are subject to the rules of your locality.There are diversity scholarships available to any underrepresented minority.
