Are you finding it difficult to attract and keep\na diverse audience? Since I started PyLadies Boston in 2013, I\u2019ve\nlearned a few lessons about the best way to help out beginners and\ncultivate a welcoming community for marginalized folks. In this talk, I\nwill cover:\n\n-  Starting a group with the intention to be beginner-friendly\n-  Creating a welcoming environment\n-  Beginner friendly meeting topics\n-  Finding the best way to teach people to code\n-  Being a good ally\n\nThis talk will benefit anyone who is currently running or thinking of\nstarting a user group.\n",
